Airtame got a lot of attention already when they launched, less then two weeks ago. And now they managed to reach their crowdfunding goal of $ 160 000, with more then 30 days left!

The AppGarage Demo Day is also a big milestone, being held at DTU with the aim to promote budding tech and app startups. Besides Airtame the runner ups where Pelvy, a ‘smart pelvic trainer’ and Lifematter, for treating depression in the 21st century.

“I’m really proud of all our teams and how much they have accomplished so far. It was also interesting to see the difference in the pitches from Thursdays pitch training and now! A big thanks to Neil Murray for that – the pitches rocked, all of them. In the end obviously it’s tough to argue with 160K USD” says Michael Reibel Boesen, one of the organizer of AppGarage.

It is indeed, Airtame did not just take home the grand prize, but won against other prominent startups from DTU such as Major League Wizardry.

The Jury consisted of:

• Anette Nørgaard
• Lars Buch
• Philip Bruce
• James Digby
• Rasmus Bjerngaard

With that jury as well as other guests, the event included both business angels, VC such as Northcap and accelerators such as Rockstart where present.

The luxury of being selected as a future star even before the final game is released is not something that everyone has the privilege of being, writes Trendsonline who reports in the announcement.

“We were very surprised to find that we were selected among the ten most promising games in the competition ” said David Reeckmann, co-founder and director of Game Made Studios

“We have very good results with the game, but we have invited only a very limited number of players so far so it is both a great surprise and honor to stand on stage in San Francisco later this month. Furthermore, we are one of only two European companies that are in the final.”

Major League Wizardry aims at a similar core game mechanic such as Wordfeud or the other regional gaming startup Planeto’s Quiz Battle game – where turn based mechanics are at work. In addition, Major League Wizardry another aspect that makes the game special – it will combine the digital game with a real card came, a way to bridge the digital and physical gaming space.

“Although we live in a digital age we believe that there is still a great opportunity to bring the physical and digital worlds together and create an even greater gaming experience. Just think for example of international best-sellers like Pokémon, Magic: the Gathering and Skylanders” says David to Trendsonline.

Major League Wizardry official launch is scheduled for early next year, so the price ceremony is several month before final real ease. Very exciting!
