MNP Increases Esports Presence With New Incubator Sponsorship

In a recent press release, Amuka Esports announced MNP will become the title sponsor of its Level Six incubator program. MNP’s investment will include funding and business specific expertise to support the 10-week program and help early stage esports companies in their continued growth and maturity.

Amuka's esports incubator, Level Six, provides training, mentorship and industry specific services to early stage companies. Through a 10-week program, start-ups get a chance to work with top advisors from companies like Overactive Media, YDX Innovation, Rumble Gaming and Ubisoft while focusing on the core competencies required to run an esports business. The second cohort will feature six companies from across the country.

The MNP team will be working closely with all the participating companies in dealing with challenges related to raising capital, corporate structure, bookkeeping/reconciling, digital transformation and M&A transactions.

“Our first cohort has exceeded our expectations on so many levels and I know we are going to get another very strong cohort this summer. Our new partnership with MNP really shows how committed they are to empowering entrepreneurs in the esports industry and all of the companies will get a richer experience being able to work with top level advisors from MNP,” says Ben Feferman, the co-founder of Level Six and CEO of Amuka Esports.

For Reece Hiland, Partner of Assurance and Accounting, this partnership speaks to the ethos of the company. “At MNP we’re committed to supporting innovation and success within the Canadian tech industry. We saw a lot of alignment with Amuka Esports when discussing a partnership. Ben and his team have established themselves as thought leaders in the industry and they represent a key reason for the acceleration of esports in Canada, contributing to the overall growth of the tech ecosystem. We’re thrilled to be supporting the Level Six esports incubator, which will give us the opportunity to work one-on-one with some of the brightest entrepreneurs in the industry. We look forward to supporting them to bolster their strategy for growing their business which is what we’re all about.”
