ESPORTS
N3rd Street Gamers, a portfolio company of SeventySix Capital, is an esports network a that focuses on serving semi-professional, amateur, and developing competitive gamers.

Founded by Philadelphia-based entrepreneurs John Fazio and Rob Hilsky in the Jarvus Innovations Incubator, N3rd Street Gamers (NSG) (https://seventysixcapital.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0ae2781d30de833ad9d45ea27&id=023b2f0f8f&e=c236a2cee8) promotes greater accessibility to the esports industry by not only increasing the amount of in-person competitions, but also by running them on high quality equipment at affordable prices. To accomplish this, N3rd Street Gamers empowers competitive gaming communities with resources to grow and a national system for tracking player progression.

Tying together the communities under a unified regional framework in 2018, N3rd Street Gamers launched the NSG Eastern Conference Championship with events spanning three cities and multiple games. Backed by SeventySix Capital (seventysixcapital.com)  and firm partner Ryan Howard (www.seventysixcapital.com/ryan-howard) , N3rd Street Gamers is laying a national framework for esports talent development.

How did we get here?

In October, 2017, before Fortnite had been streamed on Twitch for 700+ million hours, SeventySix Capital (https://seventysixcapital.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0ae2781d30de833ad9d45ea27&id=89987c6021&e=c236a2cee8)  made a strategic investment in the esports industry by backing N3rd Street Gamers (nsg.gg) .

In June 2018, Comcast Spectacor (https://seventysixcapital.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0ae2781d30de833ad9d45ea27&id=f03ee0f114&e=c236a2cee8)  announced an investment in N3rd Street Gamers. Comcast Spectacor is the owner of a portfolio of professional sports teams, including the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers and the Overwatch League’s Philadelphia Fusion.

SeventySix Capital Partners Wayne Kimmel (waynekimmel.com)  (N3rd Street Gamers Board Member) and Ryan Howard (seventysixcapital.com/ryan-howard)  announced the deal between NSG and Comcast Spectacor from the stage of their keynote talk at Hashtag Sports, a conference for innovative sports businesses in New York City.
What's next in esports
The N3rd Street Gamers and Comcast Spectacor partnership links Philadelphia’s first professional esports franchise with the region’s most powerful amateur esports pipeline and marks the advancement of a national framework for in-person esports competition and player development.

Comcast Spectacor’s expertise as an owner and operator of professional sports teams, as well as top-flight venues that elevate the live event experience, is now integrated with N3rd Street Gamers’ proven ability to engage and cultivate the nation’s rapidly growing esports culture.
