01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Sportrecs is a London-based online sports streaming service, founded in 2020 by CEO Anatoly Vorontsov, that calls itself a 'Twitch for sports'. It gives any sports league, federation, club, or agency - especially those too small to build their own OTT platform or earn from media rights - a free platform to stream, distribute, and monetize sports video. Rights-holders can earn through advertising, subscriptions, pay-per-view, and B2B services under a revenue-share model: the more the rights-holder earns, the more Sportrecs earns. The company raised about $1.3 million, including a $1 million seed round in April 2020 from The Untitled Ventures and Garage Syndicate.
