The company also said it’s planning to bring collegiate athletics to the NFT space, starting with the Pac-12 Conference. Recur has partnered with Veritone, an artificial intelligence company, to license Pac-12 video highlights on NFTU, a new marketplace for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) themed NFTs.
Recur’s co-CEO Zach Bruch said in a press release that the company is aiming to “democratize access to NFTs” and bring accessibility to sports fans who aren’t engaged in the cryptocurrency world. The deal is the first NFT-specific licensing contract for an NCAA conference.
Investors in Recur’s $5 million seed round in March included DeFi Alliance, Courtside VC, Volt Capital and internet entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk.
