Viperio launch new Services and Technology divisions
Building on our 13+ years of operating some of the UK's best esports line-ups, we're excited to enhance our business model to offer more to the brands we work with and the esports enthusiasts who interact with us.
As the esports landscape changes, Viperio is changing with it. Emphasising a more innovative and sustainable future, Viperio is expanding beyond esports teams and competition.
Viperio, the North East of England's leading esports club since 2013, is excited to mark a new chapter moving into 2026. The business of fielding competitive esports rosters to compete in organised video game competitions has been our primary and only operational activity to date. Moving into 2026, we're excited to evolve and take on new challenges, by launching two new business units alongside Viperio Esports: Viperio Serices & Viperio Technology.
A three part business model movig forward ensures greater revenue diversification, better use of staff skillsets, and allows us to be a market innovator than follower.
While esports remains Viperio's core area of operations, changes across 2024 and 2025 have made it difficult for an organisation the size of Viperio to push for tier one competition. Most notably, competitive rulechanges to our primary esports title, Counter-Strike, such as the introduction of the Value Regional Standings (VRS), made underdog stories like our 2023 BLAST Paris Major RMR attendance more difficult than ever. A more challenging economic climate has also meant many businesses have restricted their investments in esports sponsorships, which has been Viperio's primary and most controlable revenue stream to date. This combination of factors, plus changing ambitions and interests of our executive team, has pushed us to create an evolved Viperio of the future, where our operations fielding esports teams, combined with a professional services delivery organisation, and an in-house technology product incubator, will create a more innovative and sustainable business model moving forward.
Over the next few weeks, we will be making sharing more announcements related to the launch of both Viperio Services and Viperio Technology.
To capitalise on new opportunity, we will consider enhancing our capabilities with new people. If you'd like to form part of our pre-investment team as we start a new chapter of Viperio, we encourage interested individuals to reach out to us. While we're open to any interest, we are particularly focused on increasing our technical resource wanting to help build esports technology products.
