FOV Ventures portfolio company GEEIQ was founded in 2018 on the notion that people weren’t just going into games to play, they were going in to socialise. If gaming was an evolution of social media, brands would want to follow these eyeballs. As EIR for FOV Ventures, I sat down with GEEIQ founder, Charles Hambro, to discuss why brands are creating 3D activations, how they can be successful, and what the future holds for brands in massive virtual worlds like Roblox and Fortnite. The full episode and blog is below, including: 💼 The Gucci bag worth more in Roblox than IRL. 🐼 Kung Fu Panda's engagement strategy. 🔥 What trends are hot right now. 🤖 AI's impact on brand activations.

Another move in the online sportsbook and betting data space. Betr is upgrading their sports betting offerings through Huddle technology. Here are a couple of important quotes from Joey Levy that I think highlight what is happening in the industry as of late: "We now have accelerated our product roadmap by years" "We now have the capability to build our own product and technology and are no longer reliant on third parties in a significant way" "I think we are still in the early innings of demonstrating what is possible from both a product and marketing standpoint in the sports gaming industry in the U.S" The consolidation in the space is already happening and the tier 1 OSBs are getting bigger. B2B data tools and platforms that once serviced multiple operators are being bought out to create a competitive advantage. Is this consolidation good for the space? My take is that if everyone is just catering their product to help support the tier one operators, we might lose out on innovation on the long-tail of the industry. It might be the unfortuante reality that new startups in the space should focus their efforts on B2B instead of going DTC. Is there still room for DTC innovation or is the industry so top heavy that new platforms should be eyeing an exit strategy to the market leaders above all else? #startup #sportstech #betting #gaming #acquisition #b2b #dtc https://lnkd.in/gqJztScx
