IGIB is a matching model, not a mandatory ladder.

Teams do not need to pass through every program. IGIB routes creators toward the support that fits the current shape of their game and studio.

Matching modelYour teamSeedBridgeBeaconPARALLEL OPTIONS — NOT A FIXED SEQUENCE

Indie creators need more than encouragement.

Feedback, exposure, funding paperwork, and business language are often separated across different organizations. IGIB gives teams one base that can route those needs into a practical support track.

Stage-matched support

IGIB starts from where your team actually is: student build, playable game, or early studio.

Evidence before exposure

Bridge and Plithus-backed FGT practices help teams turn feedback into sharper market conversations.

Practical operating help

Beacon will focus on publishing support — marketing, UX feedback, and community — when the track opens.

Send your team profile, build status, and the kind of support you need. IGIB will help identify whether Seed, Bridge, or Beacon is the right first conversation.
