Short Summary


  • Hello, I'm Christoforos (Chris if you prefer). I am a Greek student at the National Technical University of Athens, studying Applied Mathematics and Physical Sciences. I grew up in Belgium, but of course now I'm a Greek resident.
  • Selecting a career is something many youngsters fear, and I am one of them. I chose a subject to study on, based on what classes I had picked at school. Little did I know, several months later I would be wondering what I really want to do. Now I got my mind straight and thought : I am a longtime gamer, gaming is one of my passions. I have the ability to entertain people, considering my social skills and experiences. Of course that doesn't mean that a Gaming LiveStream is the MOST suitable job for me. But what I feel is important, is that I would absolutely love doing that for a living. In fact, I have dreamt of it(If you are unaware of what a gaming LiveStream is, visit www.twitch.tv). Now, I may not be in a bad economic state, but I also am not economically independent. I grew up knowing that everything is earned in life and therefore asking money from my parents sounds crazy to me. But I do need a certain amount of gear for my adventure to begin. A studio-quality microphone, a second monitor, the newest gaming console, some  tweaks on my computer to improve its ability and a few more smaller things. I do not want to simply start broadcasting, I want it to look great,sound great and entertain like no one else's broadcast. I want to build a community of people, that every afternoon/evening will tune in after work/school and know that I will be there, to see how they are doing and entertain them. All of that, while they are talking with fellow fans of mine in "chat", making new friends and contacts.
  • And that is where every single one of you come in. Every little contribution, is a step closer to me beginning this effort/adventure into following what I consider to be MY job.


What We Need & What You Get

Break it down for folks in more detail:

  • None of the money raised will be wasted. Every single penny will go to a piece of equipment needed for the stream to come to life! Studio-quality microphone,micorphone filter,new HD webcam, new generation gaming console for immediate broadcasting from there too, a second monitor to be able to communicate with the people talking in the chat, one more 8GB RAM to improve the quality I will show my viewers on Computer and anything else I find that is needed.
  • Every broadcaster has his moderators. With a certain amount of donation, you automatically become a "Mod" in the channel. Also, for lower donations, I will provide one month of free subscription as soon as "Twitch" gives me a "Sub" button! Additionally, for exceptional donations, I will have all of the above AND a permanent showing of the persons name on the channel, to show the endless appreciation for the help!
  • If the goal is not reached, I will consider which pieces of gear "can wait" and which cannot. So the money will absolutely not be wasted since I will buy the most I can!

The Impact

  • You may not a gamer, you may prefer TV or you may even not be interested in watching any kind of broadcast. But the Gaming Community is growing, and it is offering a lot to people. Famous "Livestreamers" are getting daily messages from people telling them how important their Livestream is to them and how much it has helped them get throught tough times in life. It is a form of entertainment and a way for people less socially skilled to meet new people while watching their favorite Streamer play games and have fun!
  • One of the people I look up to is "Lirik". He is a great Streamer as well as a person and he deserves everything he has achieved. People look forward to him "going live" and he is offering a lot to the community.
  • I know it is hard for many people to even understand what this means for me, and many others. But it is a reality. People make a living off of Video Games, and its healthy! It is the new Television together with Youtube and we cannot let pass unnoticed!

Risks & Challenges

  • Don't get me wrong here. If I achieve my goal, and gather the money I need, and buy the gear to make my Livestream great, does not mean that I will immediately be a success. It requires effort, courage, consistency and most importantly : patience. I will not get noticed immediately, I won't build the community I want in weeks or even months. But for me, it is worth the patience, the effort and I will give it all.
  • Strict broadcasting hours is a very important aspect. From the first day I will have a schedule and I will make sure that even if ONE person is waiting for me to go live, I will be live for him/her.

Other Ways You Can Help

  • Now if you are not willing to provide economic support, or if you are not able to do so then do no worry. You are more than useful by sharing my campaign but most importantly, by supporting me when I start my journey. You can tune in everyday when the broadcasting begins and support me by being there!
  • There is no better way to share my effort towards my dream job by using the Indiegogo sharing tools and spreading the word!

Thank you very much for your time. I appreciate even the fact that you looked at my campaign, my dream.
