Or scroll down for some more context about the team the backstory and a few bits of FAQ.

Can I get a bit more backstory please

IndieBI was originally a sales intelligence platform created to help developers and video game studios know their playground a little bit better.

We automatically pull sales data from all of the most relevant sales platforms normalize it process it a little and present our users with neat interactive dashboards and advisory tools. This enables game developers and publishers to build better intuition evaluate their performance and ultimately leads to better decisions. Those folks are often pretty busy doing what they really love - making video games - and were here to help them deal with the busywork of actually selling the games after theyre made.

We initially developed IndieBI in order to track our own game sales on every platform and to make smart decisions based on the data we gathered. Over time we quietly shared it with other developers and the response was overwhelmingly positive - so weve raised funds spun it out into its own company and have been growing and scaling ever since. IndieBI currently has 45 people working on data product analysis and business development and were steadily making more full time hires to round out the teams.

IndieBI has helped us tremendously and weve since been able to share it with hundreds of other studios funds and publishers - including many whose games youve surely played yourself such as Among Us Gang Beasts Peak Slay The Spire Rust Clair Obscur or Dead by Daylight.

The insights and advice our small team of analysts were able to supply for our studio and our early beta partners have already more than paid for the development of the platform. Sales optimization and better operations can really make a difference for successful games - to the tune of millions of dollars of additional revenue for some of our current partners.

Still we believe IndieBI can truly flourish faster and become a universal ubiquitous tool for the entire industry if its properly independent - which is why weve spun it out of our own studio with funding from a wide circle of individual games industry investors to cover a couple of years of runway.

Weve already achieved pretty amazing things (we can tell you all about them in a meeting) but were ready for so much more. Now with your help well be able to scale and build cool stuff faster and make studios smarter across the entire games industry!

If you have any questions feel free to write to or in your application. Join us now youre gonna love it in here! <3

Whos in the team already

IndieBI is built by an engineering- and analytics-heavy team of 40 friendly and creative HQ is in Lodz Poland and most of the company is Polish but we work remote-first and use English in Teams meetings documents and emails.

Were generally working around European time zones but we are used to working with teammates distributed all the over the world. Our clients are all over the place too - sun never sets on the IndieBI client base.

And in terms of IndieBIs founders:

Tom (CEO) for the past several years has been running the business side of SUPERHOT. Recently hes spent most of his time getting people excited about data and business intelligence.

Callum (CSO) is most known for his work at Robot Teddy Raw Fury Kepler Interactive and Oculus. Since selling Robot Teddy in 2021 Callum has started a new consultancy under the name Uwu Biz continuing to work with successful developers such as Boneloaf and Bippinbits. He continues to advise Kepler and other studios.

With IndieBI they decided to create a stable fun and impactful company to solve a problem theyve seen affect so many of their industry friends and much was being done on gut-feel and by following others and not enough done with all context and knowledge required. Now theyre hopingIndieBI will be able to change all that - to fundamentally improve the way in which developers and publishers operate in the games industry.

The geese in the photo are not the founders. They are just geese.

Okay but also...

  1. Whats the level of experience necessary

    We expect you to have a bit of experience in the field but most importantly we appreciate a pro-active attitude and the willingness to learn grow and shape your environment.
    We appreciate that every project is different and there are times when youre pushed to learn a bunch of new things in shorter time so the years of experience arent the main factor we focus on.

  2. I have my concerns - what makes you special

    Firstly - we think were probably the only team and company able to pull off what were working towards. Tom and Callum have spent years working with developers and platforms in the games industry and earning their trust. It would be very difficult to encourage companies to share their entire sales history and trust us to help them manage all aspects of their commercial strategy without having long histories of successful working relationships.

    Secondly - we have a kickass group of individual games investors giving us advice kicking doors open for us and validating the importance of our work. We arent in Silicon Valley and dont want to be but there is definitely something exciting about a startup doing something that no one else is!

    Thirdly - we dont think theres any other company on the planet that gets to work with so many outstanding game developers and publishers. The impact we have on the industry helps so many companies build more of the games we know and love.

  3. I figured I work better from home and I can work only remotely - how do you feel about it

    We fully support you in doing everything to make you feel comfortable and simply happy so we wouldnt require you to join us in the office now or in the future. Well be delighted to meet you face to face when you feel like it but at the same time we will help you make your home the best workplace possible.

Wow you made it to the end! We have nothing more to tell you for now! Please go click the button now!
