In episode 11 of In Conversation With... I spoke to Thomas Gentle from Shotcall.

Shotcall is a platform and marketplace that connects video game streamers with fans. It enables content creators and influencers to host tournaments, coaching sessions, Q&As, charity events, 1-on-1 competitions, and more. Hosts can customise the events and charge fees.

It’s this combination of participation and fan engagement that piqued my interest. Most of all Shotcall has big potential and scalability.

In the conversation we talked about this and more:

- Their capital raise - they raised over US$2m in 2021.

- Breaking down the barriers between content creator and fan.

- Viewing and gaming experiences and the power of active participation.

- The company thesis and centralising fans in the value chain.
