		<title>Post-Quo Vadis note and upcoming May events</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t had much time to follow-up on the past events &#8211; apologies for this. Quo Vadis was great again this year, very interesting discussions there and a LOT of discussions on crowdfunding&#8230; That intrigued me, so I looked at the statistics for video game projects and where they are coming from on Kickstarter (the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With Diane taking a much deserved break, I took on to write on the regular blog post on what we think are going to be the trends in our space for the coming year.

		<title>Upcoming conference presence (and Kickstarter in the UK part 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I will be talking at 2 events in the near future, in both occasions, it will be about crowd funding and Kickstarter.

		<description><![CDATA[We are very happy to announce that we have released our first market report directly available on the website.

		<title>Kickstarter for video games in the UK</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kickstarter launched in the UK a bit more than 2 months ago, I wanted to have a look at the initial set of data. That data sample is quite small still, projects usually run for 30 days, so you only really have 2 months and half (kinda &#8211; see below) to look at, but still, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kickstarter &#8211; Beginning of December numbers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In preparation for this week&#8217;s panel at Evolve, I refreshed the data collected on the successful Kickstarter Video Games projects. We decided at the last minute to focus more on projects stories rather than talking about data on the platform, but as the work was done, and it was 3 months since the last time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gstar thoughts and feedback</title>

		<title>Kickstarter interrogations</title>

		<title>Kickstarter Zeitgeist &#8211; part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since last June and my blog post on Kickstarter, I haven&#8217;t really moved on. I am still quite obsessed with it and its evolution. I have run the same numbers (same methodology) as last time and made a short presentation under the same format to see where it was going. You can find it below: [...]]]></description>
