Louis Castle, co-founder of Electronic Arts’ Westwood Studios, departed EA last year to head up revamped free-to-play games portal InstantAction.
Castle joined InstantAction as its new CEO at a time when the company is seeing significant changes with the move to new headquarters in Las Vegas. Since launching in March, 2008, InstantAction has become the leader in high-quality browser-based 3D gaming. InstantAction already has more than 100 employees, with 50 in Southern Nevada and has plans to expand even further.  

Under Castle’s leadership, the company will pursue a three-pronged strategy that will encompass an expansion of the company’s browser-based interactive media publishing leadership to any and all publishers on the web; an easy-to-access, direct to consumer strategy ideal for all game developers; and the launch of new Portland and Las Vegas-based studios that will leverage Castle’s significant knowledge and experience in the gaming industry in the creation of innovative new Intellectual Property.
Come learn about what this software legend has planned for InstantAction and what their plans are for Las Vegas.

Entrepreneur?

Are you an entrepreneur? Find out at Startup & Growth Strategies’ (SGS) 3 day workshop for people who want to, or think they want to, work for themselves.

As Norman Bushnell said, “Anyone who has ever taken a shower has had an idea. It is the person who gets out, dries off and does something about it who makes a difference in the world”.

SGS helps budding entrepreneurs, or those with a business idea, start a business with the least risk, least investment, and greatest chance of success. Learn how to test and evaluate your idea and market BEFORE you spend money on business cards, brochures, licenses, logos, web sites, etc.

And if you think you need investors in order to start – think again! Investment capital is virtually non-existent in today’s tough economic times. Learn how to start on a shoestring and bootstrap your company to success.

Join SGS’ Entrepreneurs Community and learn “real world” techniques and strategies from “real world” guys who have “been there – done that”. In the last 120 days, SGS has created over 30 entrepreneurial ventures of which SIX are already producing income!

In partnership with NCET, Nevada’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology, and UNR.  Portion of proceeds benefit NCET.

September 11^th & 12^th with follow-on workshops the 14^th & 15^th – all at Joe Crowley Student Union on the UNR campus.
