Partners

The kind of partner we work with.

We work alongside national investment infrastructure and the regional bodies driving growth on the ground.

National investment infrastructure
UKBAA

The UK Business Angels Association is the national body for angel and early-stage investment, working across high net worth individuals, syndicates and institutional funds through Series A and beyond. Creative industries are among its stated specialisms.

UKBAA is our preferred capital partner. Where a diagnosis identifies an investor-side gap, they activate the capital base against it: regional angels, syndicates and funds matched to the stage the cluster actually needs.

They join at the Design stage, once the mechanism is specified, and deliver through it. Calyx builds the pipeline and the architecture; UKBAA brings the capital to meet both.

Regional delivery
Barnsley
Council

Live delivery inside one of the strongest games clusters in the country outside London. Yorkshire holds three of the world's top 100 studios and roughly 147 games companies.

Work in the borough is where the capital gap behind this practice first became clear, and Barnsley is the first region we are building the answer with.

Making games in the UK? Get on the list.

Cohorts fill from studios who already told us they exist. Registering takes a minute and commits you to nothing.
