Riprip Receives Exist Start-up Grant to Implement Innovative Business Concept
The Kassel-based studio Riprip can look forward to an additional grant of nearly 140,000 euros. The pilot project Terminal Crossing had already received a grant from the state of Hesse. The aim, however, is to create a gaming genre that can compete with short-form content on social media.
Riprip received its first grant of nearly 45,000 euros in the summer of 2024 for the development of Terminal Crossing as part of the Serious Games grant from the state of Hesse. Now, the four-person founding team is receiving another 139,300 euros in funding from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection to implement their innovative business concept. The funding does not come from the federal government’s games funding program—where applications are currently on hold—but rather from the 12-month Exist Start-up Grant.
