Today we talk about the launch of PickGuru, a new social gaming disruptor app launched by Oli Slipper, the Stats Perform and DAZN Co-Founder, who recently completed a seed funding round, securing an enterprise investment of £2.6 million, which values the company at £6million.Slipper leads PickGuru’s enterprise team formed by Paul Cobley the ex founder of Matulo Software as CTO and former Sportsquake and Stats Perform financial lead Paul Watkins as COO.The press release for the launch says its ‘a concept built and refined by some of the most successful sports entrepreneurs in the UK, PickGuru will allow users to test their knowledge to win big cash pots for small stakes in nationwide leagues or compete with their friends in mini-leagues,”.So we went to Putney in south west London to talk to Oli Slipper along with the company’s CEO Olly Roland Jones and Nick Compton, the former Middlesex and England cricketer and one of Pick Guru’s sporting experts on hand to help customers to make better prediction decisions.You can download the PickGuru app in the App Store or Google Play.For listeners of the UP podcast, PickGuru has created a free to play Unofficial Partner mini league. Follow this link: https://926ft.app.link/0hfPEfahfnb, or enter access code:  XKHA-20569-WKWJKWe will put up 2x tickets to the Darts World Championships to the winner of the UP Mini League.  Good luck. Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.
