Angry Birds: Investing in the Big Game

I recently attended a talk, Angry Birds: Investing in the Big Game, where Chris Dark, Senior Investment Manager at venture capital firm Atomico, spoke about Atomico’s recent investment in the game maker Rovio.

We’ve moved (again): Welcome to buildabrand HQ!

Not that long ago in September 2010 buildabrand made a move to join the London and European tech movers and shakers at TechHub (you might remember reading @TechHub: Silicon Roundabout). Bang in the middle of London’s Silicon Roundabout, we were among developers, entrepreneurs, events, angels, and investors in early stage tech capital. We accelerated our progress; networking, ramping up, hanging with the cool kids, knocking back beers and eating stacks of pizza… exciting times.

Being a developer myself, I felt it was time to add my two cents to the online debate.
