Summary

Award Pool is an automated end-to-end e-sports competition and management platform designed for leagues, teams, tournament organizers, and players, providing a complete management system bridging the gap between existing online tools and the e-sports industry's needs. The platform offers various features such as managing player profiles, recruiting players, setting up tournaments with brackets and prize payments, and integrating video broadcasting tools. Award Pool was built on Bubble, a no-code tool that allowed the co-founders to quickly integrate backend workflows, machine learning components, and cloud platforms, enabling rapid development and deployment of their vision for an e-sports management platform. The platform has gained traction, with over 200 tournaments launched in its beta phase, and is currently onboarding dozens of users while finishing its Angel round of funding to expand its team and user base.
