Ending Poverty by Ending Charity | Colin Guilfoyle | TEDxTallaght

Gaming/Charity

The founder of Nebula Interactive Game Studio (nebula.ie) and co-creator of Kesho Town - a Game with Real World Impact. Tired of working in purely commercial organisations Colin set out to found a company and lifestyle that looked at giving back as well as developing great games.

An Accountant by qualification, coder by passion, and entrepreneur at heart, Colin has combined these traits to create a company whose games have topped the App store, made international press and entertained thousands.

Colin has worked with a number of charities and not for profits from his base in Drogheda and continues to look at the concept of Changing Charity with Contemporary Ideas, moving away from the traditional guilt and pity models to the more engaging self help and making giving fun model.
