StatusPRO, as described by HypeBeast, is a sports tech and gaming company that leverages player data, augmented reality, and virtual reality to create a range of training and fan engagement products. As a Black-owned startup, StatusPRO has already formed partnerships with the NFLPA, various college athletic programs, and the Baltimore Ravens. With the backing of James, Drake, and Osaka, the potential for growth and success is immense for co-founders Andrew Hawkins and Troy Jones.

Jones and Hawkins have made significant strides in the sports tech industry. According to a press release, this sector is projected to reach a value of $57 billion by 2027. However, HypeBeast reports that less than 1% of Black entrepreneurs receive adequate funding from traditional venture capital firms to compete in this rapidly expanding field. As part of the select group receiving funding from major investors like James, Osaka, and Drake, Jones and Hawkins appreciate the significance of their position.
