The new fan experience, set to be launched prior to the Vikings game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, October 18, will combine the wealth of team and community-driven content from the Vikings with GameOn’s platform to help fans get official content on an easy-to-digest channel. Fans will be able to personalize their experience and interact with the content they want to see, allowing them to dive deeper into the topics they are most passionate about.
“We’re excited about this new NFL partnership with the Minnesota Vikings,” said Kalin Stanojev, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, GameOn Technology. “We love working with innovative, technology-driven organizations that put their fans first and can’t wait to give the Vikings fanbase a new and engaging way to stay connected with the team.”
“Our goal has always been to provide first-class content for our fans, said Vikings Executive Director of Digital & Innovation Scott Kegley. “Whether that’s on our website, social media, mobile app, connected TV app, or now on Facebook Messenger, we want our fans to be able to choose how they interact with the team. GameOn provides a fantastic solution for delivering curated content to our fans on a platform they’re already actively using.”
The partnership with GameOn Technology and the Vikings extends deeper, as WISE Ventures, owned by the Wilf family, has announced a strategic investment in GameOn. This new investment is part of a total $7MM raise that will enable external developers and organizations to build upon GameOn’s ChatOS technology stack anytime and anywhere. Previously, the technology was used internally by the GameOn Labs team, their creative arm, to build chat applications for organizations including Rock the Vote, the Los Angeles Chargers, Arsenal F.C., the PGA TOUR, and the NBA.
“WISE Ventures are trailblazers within the investment field and maintain a presence within traditional sports and esports.
