Traditional broadcasts are making way for streaming, direct-to-consumer models, and new digital experiences. AR, VR, and metaverse environments provide immersive fan engagement and new revenue models such as subscriptions, advertising, and digital goods. This shift offers clubs and athletes direct access to fans worldwide.
Advanced software that transforms vast amounts of sports and fan data into actionable insights. Applications range from scouting and match strategy to injury prevention and personalized fan experiences. With AI and predictive models, the “intelligence layer” of the sports industry emerges, essential for performance improvement as well as new commercial opportunities.
The relationship between fans, athletes, and organizations is changing rapidly: fans are no longer just spectators, but are part of interactive ecosystems. Through platforms for loyalty, gamification, digital collectibles, and Web3 (fan tokens, blockchain memberships), new revenue models are being created. This strengthens the connection with the fan base, provides valuable data, and expands the international fanbase.
Software and data solutions focused on athlete training, recovery, and well-being. Think of AI-driven performance analytics, digital coaching, injury prevention, and recovery management. These innovations are not only used in elite sports, but are also making their way into fitness and health, leading to strong market growth.
Digital sports experiences are growing explosively through esports and fantasy leagues. Esports reaches millions of viewers worldwide and monetizes through sponsorships, media rights, and in-game purchases. Fantasy Sports actively engages fans with traditional sports, as virtual teams are linked to real-life performances. Both segments build large communities and generate recurring revenue.
Dutch Sport Tech Fund 2 (DSTF2) builds on the success of the first fund and focuses on the rapidly growing world of sports technology. Technology is changing how athletes perform, how fans engage, and how sports organizations evolve. DSTF2 invests in the companies that make this change possible, with an expected annual return of 18%.
As of September 1, 2025, Richard Bruens has started as CEO of Dutch Sport Tech Fund.
