Our whole project and a successful token crowdsale started under the name of SportyFi as an amalgam of “sports finances”. In a light of the support we are getting from our sports ambassadors, young sports prospects, sports investors, and – last but not least – our token holders, we have decided to change our name to SportyCo. Under the new brand name SportyCo, we will be able to better represent our mission to connect young promising athletes with investors, co-fund their career, and build a large sports community with a positive impact on the world.
