Meta Games receives $150K angel investment – MSU Center for Entrepreneurship & Outreach
Summary
The company, run by Mississippi State University alumnus Ryan Gilbrech from Slidell, Louisiana, will soon have $150,000 in hand to complete its video game project. An avid gamer, Gilbrech came up wit the idea for the game in 2014 after graduating from MSU with a degree in biomedical engineering. I didn’t know how to animate, and I didn’t know much about business since I got an engineering degree.” Over the next year and a half, he worked on the game while living off his savings and pursuing his MBA. “It’s just a fun beat ‘em up party game.” The game will initially only be available on PC, but Gilbrech hopes to expand to consoles at a later date. Patterson holds a degree in electrical engineering from MSU, and has served as president and CEO of Synapse Wireless Corporation and Intergraph’ Corporation’s worldwide computer business.
