Board Game Crowdfunding Platform Gamefound Acquires Indiegogo

Board game crowdfunding platform Gamefound is acquiring Indiegogo, planning to integrate the latter's 38 million global members with its crowdfunding technology. Both platforms will continue operating separately, though Gamefound campaigns will appear on both sites for additional exposure.
