2019 Disruptor 50: No. 31 Skillz
The entire e-sports market has exploded, with projections showing it bringing in over $1 billion in revenues by next year. The mobile slice—where Skillz competes—will grow even faster over time given. Right now, mobile games account for about one-third of the gaming market's total global revenues—a percentage that's estimated to reach 41% by next year. Skillz is certainly keeping up with that growth.
Skillz is also taking on a larger role in the community. Last year it launched the largest mobile e-sports charity tournament, raising $100,000 for the Susan G. Komen breast cancer organization. Over half of Skillz players are women, a percentage that is consistent with the growth of women in the e-sports industry worldwide.
