Spot, welcome to the team! Where will the company be in 5 years? I'm going to leave that one to the CEO in an upcoming interview. At the very least, the company's online wagering platform will be growing at a rate fast enough to keep up with eSports growth ... which itself is growing based on the following:
In addition to the company's online wagering platform, the land based eSports Coliseum in Antigua should be in full swing as the only permanent eSports destination in the world (as of today). The company just returned from the ICE Conference in London, where reception and anticipation of the eSports Coliseum was very enthusiastic. It's launch by Q4 2017 / Q1 2018 will provide global visibility and become an exotic destination point for tournaments, events, etc.
On the balance of probabilities, 5 years from now is going to be a great ride. As always, don't be the farm on any single thing but glad to have you on board with 10K. Risk reward over the next TWO years looks very favourable from here so bring over the rest of the gang as well because this board is going to be a lot of fun along the way!
Best
George
