Reddit Inc. co-founder Alexis Ohanian is betting that the world of soccer scouting is an industry ripe for disruption.
The tech entrepreneur’s Initialized Capital firm is a key investor in Gloria, an app that looks to ease soccer scouting by providing a platform where players in remote areas can submit standardized material and get noticed in the industry. The app, created by two Argentine entrepreneurs based in Silicon Valley, is set to launch its beta version on Monday in Buenos Aires.
