Semper Fortis Esports has announced its intention to float on the Aquis Stock Exchange in London to raise GBP2.5 million, as it looks to tap into the fast-growing market for competitive video gaming.

Semper Fortis intends to start trading on Aquis on April 26. Board members include Keith Harris, who is the former chair of The Football League, and Atari founder Nolan Bushnell. The company was founded in January 2020.

The Sheffield-based company plans to create esports teams, sign sponsorship deals with brands and sell consultancy services. Semper Fortis has recruited its first team, Top Blokes, and plans shortly to sign contracts with each of the three-man squad. Top Blokes compete in the Rocket League Championship Series, a professional international esports tournament. The company also will look to form partnerships with professional footballers and influencers.
