About
​
Lorien Accelerator is a 12-week program to supercharge your game studio or high-growth game tech startup. We provide top-tier mentorship, network, and resources in areas ranging from legal, game development, and publishing to company management and fundraising. Our extensive industry connections help you build & grow your game business and raise VC funding.
The S25 batch will be hybrid, and physical events will take place in Istanbul from April to June.
If you apply after the deadline, we’ll still review your application—either for the upcoming batch or a future one. However, we can't promise exactly when we'll get back to you.
Based in Istanbul, Türkiye, we accept all gaming heroes globally.

Your Game,

At Lorien, we take 5% equity in exchange for all the support and resources provided through our accelerator, but only if you hit the success metrics we set together during the program.
No equity up front. No board seat. No hidden fees.
If things don’t click, we part ways with zero strings attached.
If they do, we stay in your corner for the long haul.
We’re not here to tell you what to do — we’re here to offer guidance, share our experience, and help you make the best decisions for your studio's growth.
We’re here to earn our stake—not just take it.​​
