Become a shareholder

in the world’s first fan-ownership sports platform.

Nordensa was born out of our love for sports & technology. Our excitement was infectious. Investors bought into it instantly. Nearly $1M raised with just a pdf: no team, no product, no nothing. Just the crazy dream of building the next fintech unicorn in sports.

Football is the world’s largest market. With 5 billion fans, it’s not just the largest sports market. It’s the largest market of any sector. As silly as it might sound, football is the glue that somehow unites humankind. It makes us happy. It brings us together.

We started building this company the American way: “go big or go home”. World-class talent joined in: Bayern München academy’s Chief Scout. Experts from FC Porto & FC Barcelona. The CTO from Facebook London. Top talent from Saatchi & Saatchi and BBDO.

We worked with Deloitte and one of the best sports lawyers in Europe to build the legal & fiscal framework. Then our data scouting hub in Porto. Then the technical infrastructure. We were ready. We launched. The iOS app. The Android app. The Web app. 

We were writing sports history: the first football player ever to be scouted, backed and transferred through the power of fans on a platform. This got us lots of global media coverage: Daily Mail, Marca, The Herald, Sports Business Journal and more.

We were signing partnerships with good teams: Real Zaragoza, Burnley FC, Standard Liege. 5 teams, 15, 20. We transferred the first player, then the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th. Active backers were spending monthly 6x more on Nordensa than on a Netflix subscription.

And then the hard times came. They always do. But we were a bit older, a bit wiser, and driven to make it really big. Worldwide, it was the worst time to raise money in a decade. But our vision was inspiring. We raised a total of €1,68M.

The journey continues. If you’re ready to join this wonderful adventure, we’re now opening a round extension to fuel our global expansion. The last chance for angel investors to join our journey, right before the upcoming VC-led Series A.

It’s still gonna be hard. 

And risky. And crazy.

And amazing.

Welcome to Nordensa

VISION

Building the next fintech unicorn in sports.

Football is the world’s largest market. Nordensa is the first & only fan-ownership platform for football in the world. Fans can use the platform to support young, talented football players scouted by Nordensa. In the future, fans will be able to use our platform to also invest in football academies, football clubs and ultimately, other sports.

MISSION

Fans change lives with Nordensa.

A lot of our athletes come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Once they get transferred through our platform and start playing professional sports, their income increases significantly and they can start supporting their families. As we scale up, we can help hundreds, then thousands of families improve their lives through sports.

PROBLEM

Fans should own sports but they don’t.

Rich people do. Owners own the teams, suckers pay the bills. 

This. Gotta. Change.

(with our colleagues from Germany, Portugal, Switzerland and Romania in the backyard of our main office Cluj, to brainstorm on how to crack the fan-ownership problem)

MARKET

The largest market on Earth: 5 Billion football fans.

We need 0,5 Million active users to turn Nordensa into a unicorn.

That’s 0,01% of the market. That’s right. Zero point zero one.

5 other companies built unicorns in the last 5 years in this space.

None of them offer fans any kind of real ownership in football.

SOLUTION

The World’s First Fan-Ownership Sports Platform.

We raise money from fans to scout young athletes and get them transferred to good teams. Fans get to keep up to 8% of the athlete’s income for 5 years. We’re using the most advanced data scouting technologies to spot young talent. In the future we will add more sports and turn Nordensa into ‘The world’s first multi-sport, fan-backed marketplace’.

What’s next? Turning Nordensa into an exciting experience, where fans can interact with the athletes and with friends, where fans can take part in the scouting process, and where they can participate in challenges and win stuff.

DIFFERENTIATOR

Nordensa is the only fan-ownership platform in the world for football. 

There are more than 100 fan-engagement apps out there for football. There are literally 0 fan-ownership apps. Some of the existing apps are unicorns: Sorare, Socios, Draft Kings, DAZN, Fanatics. Because fans demand to play a bigger role. And Nordensa is the only platform that lets them do that. No fantasy, no crypto. Real ownership.

TRACTION

12 months after launching the app, we’ve got

20 partner clubs where our young players can go

6 talented players already transferred to Europe

3 of them already played Europa League games

14 athletes funded and more on the waiting list
