What to Think, Ep. 19: Venture capital that’s not afraid of video games

Phil Sanderson, a game-savvy partner at IDG Ventures, has been investing in games for a long time. He has invested in companies such as Telltale Games, the maker of the acclaimed The Walking Dead episodic adventure series, and mobile developer Funzio, the creator of titles like action role-playing game Crime City. He looks at lots of potential game deals but invests in just a few every year.

He’s also an ultramarathon runner with seven 100-mile races under his belt — and he started his entrepreneurial career as a young boy by buying up silver coins from local banks and then reselling them at a profit. Find out more about his adventures at his blog, SFVC.com.
