New Zealand sport fans can now purchase personalised video messages from their favourite athletes as well as supporting local children's charities, through an Australian tech startup.
Since its launch in early 2020, Swysh has grown its athlete base from a mere 10 football players to more than 350 pro-athletes across
over 20 sports.
Kiwi sport stars have gotten behind the app, including Ardie Savea, Shaun Johnson, Ngani Laumape, Sophie Devine and Carlos Spencer.
The cost of videos range from $20 to $150, with a minimum of 20 per cent of proceeds donated to local children's charities.
Swysh Founder and CEO Michael Roth said the video platform was about leveraging the power of sport to create lasting and positive experiences for fans, while benefiting the local community at the same time.
