Two months ago, I wrote about StatusPRO, the sports tech and gaming startup that raised an impressive $20M round. 🌟 Now, Andrew Hawkins, the president of StatusPro, is breaking down the virtual reality company's plans in this video from Forbes. Hawkins discusses how StatusPro will utilise the $20M to grow its VR/gaming platform. He also shares insights for entrepreneurs looking to attract investors in the booming sports tech/gaming space. Whether you're an investor, founder, or just a sports tech enthusiast, it's an insightful interview! I enjoyed getting an inside look at StatusPro's trajectory a few months ago after first covering their raise. The video reminds me why I am so bullish on this startup and others like it to begin with. VR gaming, celeb investors, and leaders like Hawkins at the helm? That's a winning formula for the industry as a whole. 📈 https://lnkd.in/dTHGUW_Y

I’ve known Siva Reddy Vippala for over 12 years, and without a doubt, he’s one of the finest server engineers I’ve had the privilege to work with. His technical prowess, commitment/accountability, and ownership are unmatched. I’ve witnessed his growth first hand, from being a senior engineer on Tetris to now leading our entire server engineering teams at Liquidnitro Games—an engineering leadership role that shapes our tech investments One memorable moment stands out: during our annual holiday party at Electronic Arts (EA), we started receiving alerts that one of our critical servers was experiencing issues, with error rates spiking rapidly. While most of us were enjoying the event, Siva was already on his laptop, investigating the issue. Collaborating with his team, he quickly debugged the problem, applied an emergency fix, and ensured that our monitoring teams were tracking the server's health. Over the next couple of days, he developed a comprehensive plan to prevent such issues from recurring and deployed the necessary fixes. Thanks to his quick thinking, players were able to get back into the game, and the business avoided any long-term financial impact. This incident sticks with me because it exemplifies 'what good looks like'! Siva’s blend of technical mastery and unwavering commitment is what defines greatness, and I’m truly honored to call him a colleague and a friend. Thrilled to have you with us, Siva! Let’s steer this rocket ship to its ideal orbit and beyond! 🚀 #LiquidnitroGames #lng #introductions #serverengineers #commitmenttoexcellence #EngineeringLeadership #gaming #gamingindustry
