How game studios and gaming companies show a team that has shipped and run games: titles launched, studios named, past exits and revenue.
Gaming Team Slide: Show Who Has Shipped and Run Games Before
Most games fail, so investors read a gaming team slide for people who have already shipped a game, kept players and made money from it. This guide compares seven real team slides from decks tagged gaming in our library, which covers game studios, game audio tools and online betting and casino companies, from a studio team that says it ran games together earning about $1M a month to a slide that lists leaders by first name only.
TL;DR
Name the games, studios or gaming companies each person has built, and what came of them. New Legends Studios says its founders "Launched & operated games together for +3 years, generating ~$1M monthly revenue" at Mytopia, which was "acquired by 888". Bragg names the betting and gaming companies behind each executive, including a CEO who led SBTech "until the company's merger with DraftKings". theScore gives a sale price for its founder's earlier company. Lollipop Audio names LucasArts and Pixar but has no CTO yet, Joyixir describes the team only as former students, Lightpanda asks for trust with names "subjected to be changed", and Warlands lists leaders by first name.
Gaming team slides from real pitch decks
Each example shows the exact stored slide above its analysis and links to the full teardown. The clearest slides come first; weaker ones follow for contrast. Claims are as shown on the slides; comments are ours.
New Legends Studios team slide — slide 3
Game studio. Slide titled "Veteran Team".
New Legends Studios deck, slide 3. Exact stored slide matched to this analysis.
Our analysis: The slide answers the main question for a studio: this group has shipped and run games together, and they made money. Advisors and investors are shown apart. One team member appears by first name only, and one investor is undisclosed.
Evidence and limitation: A named past studio and its buyer, team size, and a monthly revenue figure for games the team ran together.
What a founder can adapt: Name the games behind the revenue figure.
Supporting analysis
What the deck claims: Ohad Barzilay, "CEO, Co Founder": "Mytopia GM (acquired by 888), later COO & CCO. Grew team to 50 in 3 studios."

Sagi, "Head of Development": "Mytopia's Game Technology Lead across all studios." Separate "Advisors" and "Investors" rows. A box: "All members have 4 to 13 years industry experience." "Launched & operated games together for +3 years, generating ~$1M monthly revenue."
Presentation choice: Investors in games back teams that have already worked together on a live game.
When it does not fit: Placeholder photos and first names only; they make the slide look unfinished.
Online casino and betting technology supplier. Slide titled "Management Team".
Bragg Gaming Group deck, slide 3. Exact stored slide matched to this analysis.
Our analysis: Every person has a named company and an event you can look up. The four-column layout is easy to read, and each logo belongs to one person.
Evidence and limitation: Named past companies, a merger, a listing and dates for each executive, with the matching logo under each person.
What a founder can adapt: Add one number for the current business, such as markets or customers.
Supporting analysis
What the deck claims: Richard Carter, "Chief Executive Officer": "the CEO of interactive sports betting solutions and services provider SB Tech" and "lead the company for over 5 years, until the company's merger with DraftKings."

When it does not fit: Claims like "global leader" without a figure.
Sports media app moving into sports betting. Slide titled "Who We Are".
theScore deck, slide 5. Exact stored slide matched to this analysis.
Our analysis: The sale price is a strong, checkable fact. The slide doesn't say who did what, or name any betting or gaming work, so the "gaming businesses" claim is not shown.
Evidence and limitation: A named earlier company, buyer, price and date.
What a founder can adapt: Add one line per leader, including any betting experience.
Supporting analysis
What the deck claims: "Meet theScore's senior leadership team": John Levy, "Founder & CEO"; Benjie Levy, "President & COO"; Alvin Lobo, "CFO". "A management team with a proven track record of building and growing successful communications, media and gaming businesses". "Founded national Canadian sports TV network theScore, selling to Rogers Media for CAD $167M in August 2012". A "Company Snapshot" table: founded 2012, 265 employees, and key ownership percentages.
Presentation choice: A sale with a price tells investors the founder has built value before.
When it does not fit: Claiming a gaming record without naming a gaming business.
Software for recording video game audio. Slide titled "Our Team".
Lollipop Audio deck, slide 2. Exact stored slide matched to this analysis.
Our analysis: The founder clearly knows the customer: he has done the work the product serves. But this is a software product, and the slide says openly that there is no CTO yet.
Evidence and limitation: Named studios the founder worked at and his own game audio company, plus LinkedIn and Wikipedia links.
What a founder can adapt: Name the person building the product, even a contractor, and one game the founder recorded.
Supporting analysis
What the deck claims: Jory K. Prum, "Founder & CEO": "Founder and chief engineer of Studio Jory, an award-winning video game recording company". "Previously a sound designer at LucasArts, an audio gun-for-hire at Pixar, a web developer at Disney, and an electronics tech at Jim Henson's Creature Shop." Michael Leifer, "Chief Marketing Officer": "CEO / Managing Director of guerilla PR for the past fifteen years". "Viking | CTO": "We are currently talking to several potential candidates."
Presentation choice: Investors in tools need to see who will build the software.
When it does not fit: A cartoon in place of a missing hire.
Joyixir deck, slide 2. Exact stored slide matched to this analysis.
Our analysis: Saying the team has worked together and learned from failure is honest, but the slide names no people, roles or released games.
Evidence and limitation: A founding year and a statement that the founders worked together and had failed startups; no names or games.
What a founder can adapt: Add the founders' names, roles and the games released since 2014.
Supporting analysis
What the deck claims: "Joyixir (aka Ordibehesht Studio) is an indie game developer determined to produce games with high quality, attraction, and profit. The studio is founded in 2014 by several students at Qazvin Azad University who had been working together for years in a research lab, practiced real teamwork and team development, and had the experience of failing several startups."
Presentation choice: Without names or titles, investors cannot tell what the studio has shipped.
When it does not fit: Stock photos in place of the people.
Mobile game studio. Slide titled "Management Team".
Lightpanda deck, slide 3. Exact stored slide matched to this analysis.
Our analysis: Electronic Arts and Namco Bandai are relevant, but the note that names are "subjected to be changed" tells investors these people may not join.
Evidence and limitation: Named game companies next to roles, but a note that the names may change.
What a founder can adapt: Show only people who have committed; list others as planned hires.
Supporting analysis
What the deck claims: "The members are from one of the top schools graduates along with more than 5+ experience on the technical field and from one of top 10 of Fortune 500 Companies.(Names subjected to be changed under condition*)". "CEO: Raj Kumar Bhaumik". "Game Designer: Sellars Mike , Electronic Arts Inc". "Senior Level Designer: Ligot Gerald -Namco Bandai Games America Inc". "Senior Game Tester: Gulati Rohan, Electronic Arts Inc". "Young team member with 200% energy."

When it does not fit: Conditional names and lines like "200% energy".
Mobile esports game with crypto features. Page titled "About Us", section "Team & Background".
Warlands deck, slide 5. Exact stored slide matched to this analysis.
Our analysis: The page claims past titles and downloads but names none, and most leaders have no surname or background. Blurred photos can't be matched to names.
Evidence and limitation: A team size, years and "millions of downloads", with no titles named; leaders mostly by first name.
What a founder can adapt: Name two past titles and their downloads, with full names and one line per leader.
Supporting analysis
What the deck claims: "Warlands has a multidisciplinary team of professionals with more than 55 members and 8 years of experience in the video game development industry.

"Leadership: Norberto (Chief Marketing Officer), Ayush Ranjan (CTO), Hamza (Chief Financial Officer), Abhi (Lead of Tech Officer), Anagh (Art Director), Karan (Blockchain Lead Officer)".

What this guide adds
The general team slide guide covers any company. Games add a hit-driven market and the work of running a live game after launch, so investors look for people who have shipped titles, kept players and earned money from them.
Our library's gaming tag covers game studios, tools for game makers, and online betting and casino businesses. We note each company's business in the examples.
How we read each slide
We quote the text on the stored slide images. We have not checked any employer, game, revenue, sale or experience claim.

Frequently asked questions
What should a game studio's team slide show?
Which games the team has shipped and what they earned. New Legends Studios says its team ran games together for over three years at about $1M a month.
Is a download claim enough?
Not without the titles. Warlands claims "millions of downloads" but names no games.
Should I list people who haven't joined yet?
List them as planned hires. Lightpanda notes that its names are "subjected to be changed", which tells investors the team isn't settled.
How we chose these examples
Corpus: published pitch deck teardowns on StartupFundraising.com. Founder-uploaded private decks are excluded.
Selection (2026-09-27): we searched extracted slide text in decks tagged gaming for team, founders, leadership or management together with CEO, CTO, chief, former, previously or years. About 20 slides matched; we reviewed those with stored images and not used elsewhere.
Kept seven. Left out: a duplicate upload of the Lollipop Audio deck (same slide; we used one copy), BRVO p4 (a partnership summary, not a team slide), Fnatic p4 (esports results, not people), and slides whose text matched but showed products or cover pages (Bear & Breakfast, Button City, Incymo). GamerzClass and Jago Studios team slides have no stored image. No uploads were requested.
Review: stored slide text and images were checked on 2026-09-27 and matched to company, deck and slide number (editorial model review). No person has yet completed an editorial review of this page.
Claims are as shown on the slides; we have not verified them. We make no claim that any slide caused a fundraising outcome.
