Robert Bryan, Karate Combat’s Founder, had the following to say in an official press release:
“The DAO construct puts fans at the center of the sports action as real participants, which is a completely new concept in sports entertainment, and therefore it was essential to design and build an app that is strategically sound. Continuing our momentum from raising our $18 million SAFT funding round, we are thrilled to work with the Symphony team on this project. From the beginning, the Symphony team had a clear understanding of our vision, and worked efficiently to deliver a superior experience for our fans.”

the enthusiasm from both teams to create a first-of-its-kind DAO offering for users to engage
deeply within the community. At Symphony, our goal is to leverage our dedicated and distributed team to enable tech companies to unlock creative software solutions that drive bottom line business growth.
