Virtual Reality Stadiums Featuring Your Favorite Sports Teams, No Matter Where You Are—Symon Perriman—FanWide

There's nothing quite like the energy and excitement of seeing your favorite sports team in person while surrounded by hundreds or thousands of other fans rooting right along with you, but for the 100 million Americans who don't live in the same town as their favorite team, this experience is difficult if not impossible to come by. As the president and founder of FanWide, Symon Perriman set out to change this.

FanWide is the world's largest fan club network that's connecting likeminded sports fans—regardless of where they live or travel—in a way that until now has only been possible for those who live in the local market. How are they doing it? By creating a virtual stadium at every sports bar around the country where fans can interact, play games, and cheer on their team in unity. But that's not all: FanWide incentivizes fans for showing up to events by providing rewards such as free beer, contest entries, and the potential to win cryptocurrency tokens that can be spent on game tickets, sports merchandise, and sports apparel.

"I found that sports were one of the few things that really transcend where you're from, what language you speak, your gender, your ethnicity…if you can find fans from the same team, it builds up that immediate bond or connection, and we're providing…an easy way to have that bond and find those people from the same tribe or background through our digital platform, and then bring them together in real-world events," says Perriman.
