If you are not invested in eSports and or the Technology sector you do not care about your financial future.
Yesterday, the point was brought home for me. The California Chapter of the NAAAA presented the Business of Sports Conference: The Global Business of Sports and eSports Pitch session. WOW ! The panelist and speakers were in a word “fantastic.” I was honored to be among them as well as the room full of intelligent and successful business people. The conversations I overheard were all about the opportunities today and in the future related to business in the sports sector.

The topics covered in the conferences were Athletic scholarships and opportunities, the influence of non-profits in the sector and the business opportunities in the sports sector. But, for me, the highlight was the “Shark Tank” type session which was overseen by an esteemed panel of technology and business experts. The companies / products that presented were Social Fit – a fitness app, Locator 1, a smartphone case embedded with technology, AfroKids.com, a history portal, Sports Star Apps, a monetization tool for professional athletes, BullPen, patented technology to bring Virtual Reality into Immersive Reality, a monetization tool for professional athletes, eSports Amateur Competition League (EACL), the new farm system for professional eSports and eSports Instruction.com.
All of them had a unique concept, and more than one has the opportunity to become a “Unicorn”. For those not in the know, a “Unicorn” is a company that is super special and becomes the next billion dollar company. This sector can only grow as the world’s dependence on technology deepens.
One of those companies’ eSports Amateur Competition League (EACL), the new farm system for professional eSports is clearly positioned to make the most immediate impact. I say this as they prepare to display at E3, the world’s top video Gaming convention starting this week right here in Los Angeles, California. They are launching their platform and putting up One Million Dollars in prize money for an eSports Tournament this fall. I understand that many of you do not know much about eSports (gaming) but it's positioned to become as mainstream as football, basketball, baseball hockey and soccer. With over 300 Million participants worldwide and poised to break the 1 Billion Dollar mark as an industry. eSports will be the next multi-billion dollar sports sector.
