Company mission
To democratize the $70 billion sponsorship industry; making this marketing channel accessible to ALL brands.
Our take
Founded in 2014, OpenSponsorship is an online platform that focuses on allowing brands to search, connect and sponsor opportunities within, primarily, professional sports - a thriving and lucrative market.
The company stands out for its mission to make the industry more accessible and efficient. In the sponsorship industry - worth $60Billion - the non-top 5% of athletes and properties have a much harder time finding sponsorship. This is where OpenSponsorship focuses its attention.
It has recently launched for music as well, an industry that faces the same issues regarding the top 5% being those ones who access most of the revenue. The company is a good position for growth following investment from Serena Ventures, the investment firm from elite tennis player, Serena Williams.
