Rival, a three-year old Gaming-as-a-Service (GAAS) provider, recently raised a $1.6mm seed round. Most esports endeavors to date have focused on winning or ‘being the best’. Rival is going in the other direction, and leaning into community building and entertainment. Its platform serves as a participatory digital gaming destination for young fans, and the company provides the operational overlays enterprise customers need to establish meaningful connections with them (think: moderator tools, ability to ingest streams, and promote media). The company seems to have found product-market fit with pro sports organizations eager to reach the gaming or esports demo. 46 teams currently subscribe to the GAAS. “The next-gen customer is spending equally as much time playing games as they are consuming legacy social media platforms,” Matt Virtue (founder, Rival) said. And “much less on broadcast [television where traditional sports air].” #sportsbiz #esports #gaming #fanengagement #investment https://lnkd.in/eRcShHBm
