Fancision

Sevilla ·Pre-seed

Fancision is a Seville-based sportstech startup that builds a fan-engagement platform for football clubs and their supporters. Its app uses gamification (trivia, mini-games, predictions, challenges with prizes, and fan votes on club decisions) and blockchain-based official digital collectible cards that fans can earn, buy and trade to complete albums. It is offered both as a standalone app and as a white-label module built into clubs' own apps, helping clubs make more money from their fan bases. Founded in February 2020 by a team of Venezuelan entrepreneurs (first under the name Hyncha), the company went through the Andalucía Open Future accelerator and was one of 10 start-ups picked from about 1,600 applicants for the Qatar SportsTech accelerator in Doha, which invested $150,000 (about €128,780) at a $2.15M valuation in 2020.
