Not everyone has the same access, so we built Merit for the under-networked tech worker to grow their craft, career, and confidence. Merit connects tech talent to grow their craft, career and community. Its is as simple as picking a topic, person and time. We connect curious, eager members with mentors who want to impact the tech industry for the better. Our vision is a real meritocracy for the tech industry, and we’ll get there, one conversation at a time.

Originally founded by Catt Small and Chris Algoo in 2016, the Game Devs of Color Expo took shape when the two young game developers set out to pioneer a new market for showcasing games made by game creators of color. The first event, a games showcase with roundtable discussions, received rave reviews from attendees. Some even drove to New York City from out of state! Attendees asked when there would be another event, so Catt and Chris decided to pull in a larger team and host the second event at the Schomburg Center. The Game Devs of Color Expo continued in-person events for several years. Each year, attendance and partnerships with major organizations grew. We have had the honor of working with major gaming companies including Xbox, Nintendo, Niantic, Oculus, and Amazon Gaming. In 2019, we offered our first grant to a game developer of color in the form of the Humble Bundle Game Creator of Color award. Ethan Redd, our first grant winner, received $15,000 to build a Humble Original game. Since then, we have given over $390,000 to game developers of color. The Game Devs of Color Expo is now a multi-day virtual festival and set of initiatives to evolve the gaming industry. We’d love for you to be a part of that change.

The Brooklyn Gamery was founded in 2013 by Catt Small, Chris Algoo, Dennis Liaw, and Xer Gata. We make high-quality games for different devices and operating systems -- including new, experimental technology. We incorporate Agile and Lean Startup methodologies into our game-making process to create polished games in less time with less overhead. When we make a game, its made with the love of four multitalented game-makers. No matter the genre, each game we create will be tested and iterated upon multiple times to ensure that it is both beautiful and entertaining. Thats why the Brooklyn Gamerys motto is "handcrafted video games delivered straight to your device".
