E05: Angelo Damiano | Empowering Content Creators - How PowerSpike is Connecting Esports Streamers with Top Brands

Starting It Up

On this episode, we talk with Angelo (AJ) Damiano, the Co-Founder, and CEO of PowerSpike. PowerSpike is the turnkey tool for Twitch influencer marketing, helping streamers do what they love, full time. AJ dove into the gaming space early on, becoming ranked as a top 100 player in the world at World of Warcraft while in high school. After moving into the streaming space and doing a stint as a Shoutcaster, AJ saw the opportunity to connect brands with influencers, filling a much-needed role in the marketplace. PowerSpike took part in TechStars Atlanta’s latest class, raising around $500,000 from them, the Dorm Room Fund, the Philadelphia 76ers, and other top investors. They’re now working on building up their platform, adding new streamers, brands, and capabilities, and continuing to capitalize on the rapidly growing billion-dollar plus Esports gaming industry.
