Rebecca Longawa is Founder + President of Happy Warrior and an Esports Advisor to Stadia Ventures and Brickhouse Ventures.

Rebecca told me she has a love for people which makes her a natural connector. She also talks about how her dad inspired her brand, Happy Warrior, and how esports continues to foster connection.

With over 20 years of experience in sports marketing and innovation, Rebecca runs her own consultancy agency, is an advisor for three global sports-tech investment firms and an Advisory Board Member for a number of sports-tech startups.

She is a go-to for both brands & athletes looking for strategic introductions, ambassador partnerships, post-career advice and personal branding.

Our conversation starts in gerbil tunnels, continues into the VC world of esports investment and crosses the finish line with the evolution of connecting through esports & esports-esque systems and platforms.
