Testimonial:
“Last year FanWide participated in the Sports Tank’s Next Gen Arena, and we had the opportunity to meet dozens of sports technology investors and influencers. It was one of the most worthwhile events that we have participated in, we are now in discussions about the possibility of an investment with Sports Tank sponsor, the football co., and were invited to Germany to pitch in the leAD sports accelerator.” – Symon Perriman, President & Founder, FanWide
“We’re excited to be back at Sports Tank after making an investment and building countless relationships. Sports Tank allows us to leverage our network and help these companies grow globally. There’s no event like it out there.”
-Jake Ireland, Hickory VC
“Sports Tank was a perfect opportunity to not only raise capital, but to raise capital with strategic partners. We ultimately came to terms with one of the VCs and someone on the sports advisory panel. And since we’ve raised capital, TPG Sports Group has been incredibly helpful opening their vast network. I recommend Sports Tank to any company seeking truly strategic growth capital.”
-Andrew Menter, Physmodo
“Sports Tank separates itself from others in the industry based on the unique combination of sports industry executives and sports specific venture investors – all together in one event. The Next Gen Arena is also becoming the place to be for early stage sports tech companies. I’m proud to be part of Sports Tank and look forward to the event each year to learn about the latest sports innovations.”
