Soccer icon Lionel Messi has launched a California-based firm focusing on global investments in the sports, technology, and media spaces dubbed the Play Time Sports-Tech.
The firm seeks to invest in 'stage agnostic’ opportunities, including backing soccer-centric technology startups and investing in teams.
Messi said that Play Time would collaborate with daring entrepreneurs from all over the world.
Play Time will be run by Razmig Hovaghimian, a partner at Graph Ventures, who is also a co-founder of Matchday.com, a gaming venture focused on soccer, which Play Time has already invested in.
