Gaming is fun. And many gamers have a substantial amount of skill. Some gamers are actually Analysts by Nature.

The information economy is building a demand for analytic professionals that more than doubles by 2020. Projections for the coming decade are even higher. The industry will struggle to find enough trained analysts to meet that demand in the near term. An opportunity exists for the best and brightest gamers to exploit this market opportunity. That opportunity will require a good deal of education and perspective.
At Corsair’s Ventures, we are dedicated to educating and employing analysts in the decades. We encourage you to read more and investigate the world of analytics.
