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. Chris also shared some general tips for startups and entrepreneurs in the audience looking to work with VC firms. Don’t worry if you weren’t able to attend, sharing is the rule here at buildabrand.

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