Brief company description: Ewagers is a patented, fully audited/approved, payment card industry (PCI)-compliant skill-based wagering technology company for esports.
What are some major milestones in the company’s history? Ewagers secured a patent in October 2023 after waiting nearly three years. Additional intellectual property (IP) includes a trademarked name, logo and slogan.
What is your company working on right now? Ewagers is currently focused on product development along with fund raising to expand its offerings.
What’s on the horizon for your company in 2024? Ewagers will be offering a white-labeled solution to casinos, sportsbooks, esport organizations and more. Potential partners can dramatically increase user retention, revenue and profits, since they will not have to acquire their existing user base.
Why grow your company in/from Kentucky? Kentucky has a massive pool of untapped talent, resources and connections. A majority of greater metropolitan areas have been oversubscribed and stretched too thin. The Southern hospitality doesn't hurt either.
Give us one bold prediction in 2024 for startups, technology or venture capital/fundraising. Esports will be the leader in digital entertainment for 2024.
