Moritz Maurer, ounder and CEO of GRID Esports, sits in the office of his Berlin apartment. It has become the temporary HQ of his GRID operations amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and shelter-in-place orders. “It’s an unfortunate time globally, and certainly a strange time for us to see such a surge in business,” he remarked to Esports Insider in April.
GRID is a data-as-a-platform company that partners with game publishers and tournament organisers to monetise official operators’ data feeds to a wider audience, including media outlets and regulated bookmakers.
