Co-Founder & CEO, Forza Football
Patrik Arnesson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Forza Football, the Swedish football tech company behind the worlds' second biggest football app, Forza Football. On their main app they have over 5 million downloads and 3 million monthly active users, and cover over 420 leagues worldwide. They also have a newer app that serves as a tool for football clubs to monetize on their content, something which all clubs currently struggle with. Football Addicts’ mission is to democratize football and put football in the hands of the fans
Please joins us as we discuss Patrik’s journey, from a disgruntled 21-year old startup CEO servicing traditionally driven brands to creating one of the most innovative and sought-after football tech companies in the world. We touch on things such as how to democratize football; what a 93-year old Japanese sushi master can teach app developers and company founders; why company boards don’t make sense; implementing a bottom-up decision making process versus a typical hierarchical pyramid model; saying “no” to $10 billion; closing the doors on prestigious venture capital firms; drinking coffee at Gothenburg’s finest coffee shops and much more.
Forza Football’s Mission
We want to make the world of football a better place, and available for everyone. We want to get access to all the world’s football matches for every single fan in the world. We also want to help bring about an end to both racism and homophobia in football.
We will work for equality and human rights, against corruption and injustices and empower fans by hearing and spreading their opinions. We’ll provide the youth worldwide with a supportive environment where they keep growing. We will also be role models as a transparent and open company.
