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.
