For a better LAN future, with your help

We are Michael & Matt, known in the gaming world as GeoSnipe & Kharne.

We are reaching out to the LAN community in the UK for support in achieving our goal. Your involvement and enthusiasm are crucial to bringing our vision to life. Whether through attending our events, spreading the word, donating to this GoFundMe, or providing feedback, every bit of support helps us create the best possible LAN experiences for everyone.

LAN parties have been our passion ever since we attended our first events back in the early 2000s. We were so committed to the LAN culture that we volunteered to help run them before deciding to leave our previous careers and focus on LAN parties and LAN experiences full-time in 2011.

Fast forward to 2024, and we have hosted over 125 LAN parties, both large and small. Now, we have an exciting opportunity to reinvent the concept of LAN parties for a new generation of PC gamers.

The reasons for attending LAN parties have evolved over the years. Initially, LANs were essential for players to compete and game together on a level playing field with low latency (ping). However, with the advent of high-speed internet and the shift by game providers to online servers, the original technical benefits of LANs have become less critical. Today, the social aspects of LAN parties are the primary draw, bringing gamers together in a unique community setting.

Our passion for LANs has only grown stronger, and we are committed to creating events that offer a new dimension to the LAN experience, with a strong emphasis on community and enjoyment, as well as keeping the stables of LAN gaming and esports going for the UK communities.

Starting a company from scratch and trying to launch a large LAN event comes with its challenges. One critical factor for the success of any start-up, especially in the event space, is maintaining a healthy cash flow. Adequate cash flow ensures that we can cover upfront costs, secure venues, invest in technology, enable Kharne to continue his crippling Warhammer addiction (jks), and provide the best possible experience for our attendees, all of which would be made even more possible with your generosity.

Thank you and C U @ LAN
