- The Football Company
Participated · Seed · May 2022
The Football Company is a Munich-based web3 startup founded in 2020 by brothers Ante and Josip Kristo to create virtual football experiences. Its first product, The Football Club (TFC), sells tokens that represent analogue merchandise as 3D objects which users can equip on avatars and trade on the TFC marketplace. The platform combines fantasy gaming with real-life sports performances in a squad-management experience and issues licensed digital collectibles that generate revenue when traded. The company has released four NFT collections with partners, generating more than €270,000 in revenues in less than four weeks, with all drops sold out in under 24 hours. The fresh €2.5 million in seed funding will be used to expand into new markets, recruit employees, and set the ground to scale the sports NFT ecosystem. The startup also secured former Bayern München players Robert and Niko Kovac as founding investors and counts professional players like Joshua Kimmich and Cesc Fàbregas among recent backers.
