Video games are powerful communication tools but costly, complicated & clunky to make

Video games are powerful communication tools. The impact they leave on our brains far transcends the virtual boundaries in which we play them! There is an opportunity to leverage this power for a purpose beyond entertainment.

Purposeful Video games, i.e. video games that have a purpose beyond entertainment, have immense potential to influence industries like education, marketing, and training; yet we do not see them as mainstream tools in these industries.

This is because making video games is costly, complicated, and clunky!

Creating video games with no-code, at low-cost & lightning speed

At GRID, we are empowering a non-tech, non-gamer audience to create purposeful video games at low-cost, with no-code, and at lightning speed.

With Breshna, everyone can create their own video games for educational, marketing, and training purposes!

Breshna changes how video games are created and used

• On the “create” side, we are leveraging the no-code movement to empower a non-tech audience to create their own video games. 
• On the “use” side, we are taking video games beyond entertainment and deploying their power for education, marketing, training, and story telling! 

Breshna operates at the intersection of No Code & Purposeful Games.

Breshna transforms ordinary people into powerful content creators. Whether it’s a teacher making a history quiz, a not-for-profit leader making a brochure on animal compassion, or a founder making a pitch deck, they can all leverage Breshna to create fun and interactive video games to engage their audience.

1000 games made on Breshna in the first 96 hours of launch! 

• Breshna was launched on July 15th with a game jam competition, which received nearly 6K visitors in the first 96 hours and resulted in 1K games published

• GRID has established 9 partnerships with youth organizations to place Breshna in the hands of students and teachers

• GRID holds a provisional patent protecting the company's IP around direct text to video game generation and incorporation of NFTs in no-code video games.

For anyone who wants to tell stories using video games

Breshna replaces power points, quizzes, and survey tools with video games that can be created with no-code and at lightning speed. 

Teachers, parents, content creators & social impact leaders are hungry to deploy interactive tools that can transform learning, story telling, and awareness building. Based on our customer analysis, simplicity and a flat learning curve are the most important aspects for our users – especially teachers – in incorporating interactive learning tools in classrooms.

GRID has partnered with 9 youth/education organizations to expand the outreach of Breshna. 

SaaS Subscription model complemented by B2B game dev services, ad revenue, and royalties

GRID will employ a SaaS freemium model with tiered pricing ranging from $7/month to $157/month. Free-version users will be empowered to create video games on a limited number of templates. Paid users will have access to the premium game asset library and the ability to publish an unlimited number of video games. 

GRID also has secondary revenue generation channels through (i) ad revenue under the free version, (ii) B2B game development services for clients with advanced needs, and (iii) commission-based revenues based on crowd-sourced game assets from our contributors including indie game developers and artists. 

Purposeful video games projected to be a $28.8B industry by 2025 

Breshna empowers users to create purposeful video games with no code, putting it at the nexus of the no-code and purposeful/serious video games markets. 

The serious games market is expected to be $28.8B by 2025 while the global low-code development platform market is expected to produce $187B in revenue by 2030. Both markets have immense growth potential and relatively limited competition given how new they are.

Breshna sits at the intersection of no-code, purposeful video games, content creation & NFTs

Our moat includes: 

• Focusing on purposeful video games, empowering users to create educational, marketing and training video games.

• Serving a truly non-gamer, non-tech audience 

• A flat learning curve – does not require any coding or design skills, and is fully based on drag and drop features

• GRID has a provisional patent to protect the company's IP around auto video game generation and NFT integration.
• Backed by a capital-efficient, remote team

Complete democratization of the purposeful games industry through Breshna

A world where everyone and anyone, irrespective of their knowledge of coding or design, is empowered to create their own videos to educate, engage and empower people!
