Question

Awesome idea, guaranteed user base, Revenue source ?!

Sep 30, 2015 1:28PM PDT

Hey guys,

we're starting an eSports (League of Legends, CS:GO, Dota 2, etc.) tournaments platform catering to players and offering Cash prizes. Our idea is to make all tournament entrances Free to help players who either can not afford to enter or don't have the means of payment. All streamed on Twitch, YouTube, PR campaigns, the works.

As you figure, there isn't much of a revenue stream coming in so we'd appreciate ideas.

Thanks! Husam

If there is no viable business plan and no investor who thinks it will come, it's a hobby.
Most hobbies cost money indeed. Enjoy!
