As we mentioned last week, svexa’s GM of Central Europe Daniel Kulig went to Madrid recently for the World Football Summit. As a jury member of EBAN – European Business Angel Network Sports, he had the privilege to evaluate amazing sportstech startups from around the world.

Daniel reports – “The winning team, New York City-based VRTL, impressed us with their innovative platform connecting fans and athletes through immersive digital experiences. Check them out at https://www.vrtl.live/. Big thanks to the organizers and fellow jury members for a great experience and inspiring discussion.”
Huge congratulations to VRTL from svexa!
Daniel is a great example of one of svexa’s unique features, that we are very proud of – that we hire a lot of experts with dual competencies, and encourage them to continue their work in multiple arenas. That can be in the startup innovation ecosystem like Daniel, or with pro sports team, with government agencies, or in academia. This setup helps us to stay up to date with the latest trends and breakthroughs.

Daniel is closely plugged into the soccer and wider sports tech ecosystem across Europe. Since 2022 has been helping fuel the rapid growth of teqball, including great success with the Polish team. Daniel is also currently part of the EBAN Sports steering committee, promoting angel investment and innovation in the sports sector across Europe and beyond.
