First of all hi everybody, wherever you are from hope you are having a good day.
My name is Alex Dreyfus, French, 41yo and been an internet entrepreneur for the last 25 years. I was the founder of several start-up since 1995, including last 15 years in the online gambling (poker, betting, casino). Sold my last business to largest casino provider in US few years ago.
Chiliz is a tokenization platform for the sports & entertainment industry. We are tokenizing some of the biggest sports teams, from multiple sports, to engage & monetize their fan base globally. We create “Fan Tokens” for each club we are working with, and these tokens allows millions of fans from all over the world to vote on binding surveys, trade tokens in our marketplace, engage with the clubs and other fans (token holders).
The point of the Fan Token is to give a voice, a power to the 99.9% fans that are not in the stadium. As a Fan Token holder, you are ‘identified’ as an official Socios or Fan, which can’t be done with Facebook or Twitter. There will be rankings of fans all over the world (you can be the top influencer of your favorite team, in a small city anywhere in the world).
The name of the mobile app that we are launching is Socios.com, its powered by $CHZ token exclusively.
We raised $60m last year in a private placement, with Binance one of our major investor & partner and we are now working on the launch of our mobile application by early Q4 this year. Our company has 53 employees with nearly 24 nationalities, and we have offices in Malta (40+ employees), London, Buenos Aires, Seoul and Singapore.
Our project aims to be the biggest consumer-facing blockchain-based product (after exchanges) with the support and marketing of dozens of global brands & sports teams. We are building one of the biggest mass-adoption project and it will be launched in the next couple of months.
Last but not least, not only we do not have any competitor, but we as we are working exclusively with the teams, we are trying to have a strong network effect.
I suggest to have a look at this thread on my twitter, where you’ll find links to official team announcements + videos of our app/features and cool stuffs
