Gfinity is a company well known in the esports scene for tournaments like the Elite Series, and it turns out that the company has no plans to stop growing soon, as chief strategy officer Bryan Healy has spoken in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz about the plans for the company, which has a lot to do with revenue.
"Obviously, creating shareholder value is a core focus of ours," he explains. "It is what we need to do. As we expand globally, we will need to raise more funding. We are very focused on that. From a revenue perspective, we want to be aggressive. Esports is exploding globally and we've got ourselves into a leadership position, so we are going to be very aggressive."
"As we continue to generate more revenue, we will continue to invest that in growth. We are lucky in the sense that the vast majority of shareholders understand that. They understand that it is a very nascent business, and everybody out there is rushing to state their claim. What we are doing is positioning ourselves as a leader ahead of the revenue streams that are expected to come."
Healy also says that there'll be change in esports soon. "You might see some consolidation in esports over the next three or five years," he says. "Because right now everyone is jumping in - left, right, centre, they're coming from all directions. There is only so big a pool, right? As Gfinity, we want to be in a leadership position in three to five years when that thinning out happens, and you see the quality rise to the top. If you are in a leadership position when that happens, you know the revenue streams are going to come. And we think we will be very well positioned to take advantage of them."
