These activities will be the focus of their next round of financing.
Revenue Streams
Sherwa’s initial revenue stream will come from the connection of pro gamers to amateur gamers where they will take a percentage fee of the cost of the transaction. They are also exploring additional ways of monetizing their platform as it is being built out.
