Operator of an e-sports team, The Dibs Esports was founded in 2019 with the mission to increase the representation of women at professional and competitive gaming levels. The company's model focused on building teams to compete in highly-viewed esports tournaments and events.
A core part of its strategy was the development of young talent through dedicated academies, aiming to cultivate the next generation of women players in the industry. The business was structured to generate revenue through typical esports channels, such as sponsorships, tournament prize money, and merchandise sales.
The company was formerly venture-capital-backed, having raised $185K in an early-stage VC round on October 14, 2019. However, according to PitchBook data, The Dibs Esports ceased operations and is listed as 'Out of Business' as of July 1, 2022.
