Quarterback offers a platform for creating gaming leagues and content driven by gamers and streamers rather than game publishers or existing streaming sites. Leagues on the platform can host daily challenges, give away prizes and compete against fan clubs devoted to other top players. The company positions itself to help streamers monetize their fan bases, own their channels, build game libraries and cultivate new talent while encouraging one-to-one interactions. Quarterback was founded by serial entrepreneur Jonathan Weinberg, who previously led Round Robin and held a leadership role at Spartonix. Financially, the company has just completed a $2.5 million seed raise led by Bitkraft Esports, with additional participation from Crest Capital Ventures, Deep Space Ventures, UpWest Labs and angel investors. The product is focused on tying top gamers more directly to their audiences and shifting revenue and control toward the creators themselves.
