Capital to drive global expansion and AI capabilities
The fresh funds will be used to expand internationally and further invest in AI-led production and distribution capabilities, strengthening its position in the sports streaming ecosystem.
Building infrastructure for grassroots sports streaming
Founded in 2019 by Sidhhant Agarwal, Shubhangi Gupta, and Yash Bhagwatkar, SportVot provides a full-stack platform to stream sports events and discover grassroots talent. It leverages cloud-based broadcasting technology to make professional-grade streaming accessible to smaller leagues and organisers.
Massive scale with global reach and engagement
SportVot claims to have streamed 500,000+ matches across 30+ countries, reaching an audience of 100 million+ viewers. The platform is witnessing growing traction across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia, signalling global demand.
Monetisation and market opportunity
The startup monetises through tournament organisers, pay-per-view, subscriptions, and brand partnerships. With nearly 99% of global sports events still unstreamed, SportVot is targeting a large untapped market by reducing production costs and improving accessibility.
Competitive landscape in sports-tech
SportVot competes with platforms like CricHeroes and FanCode, positioning itself as an AI-driven, scalable broadcasting solution for grassroots and semi-professional sports ecosystems.
