Glitch SBC, stylized as GLITCH, is an American software and video game development company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota specializing in original titles, player insights and the publishing of indie games. GLITCH was founded in 2013 by Evva Karr and Nicolaas VanMeerten. Karr previously worked in publishing and strategic partnerships for Riot Games and Activision Blizzard Media Network. The collective finances prototypes from early stage game studios with $120,000-$250,000 USD equity checks through the Moonrise Fund, and $10,000 Galaxy Grants for projects from emerging game developers. The company began co-developing and publishing indie games with the release of Optica in 2018 and HyperDot in 2020. As of January 2022, GLITCH employs 11 people. History Founding and initial development (2013–2022) Evva Karr and Nicolaas VanMeerten began GLITCH as a student group while attending the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Karr and VanMeerten bootstrapped the studio by making white-labeled games, producing work for companies like PBS, Disney, and Warner Brothers to avoid bringing in investors.
