Alex Nichiporchik is the CEO of TinyBuild, which he started with Tom Brien back in 2011 to develop and market, No Time to Explain, via Kickstarter. Over the years, Nichiporchik has picked up a lot of experience in indie and double-A game publishing, and how he’s sharing some of it.

It was a struggle but TinyBuild grew over time and published Hello Neighbor, and in 2020 it acquired the development team behind the game from Dynamic Pixels. The firm went public in 2021 on the London Stock Exchange and acquired more development studios.
