As one of our earliest investors, both PJ and Northzone have played a pivotal role in guiding Fubo through periods of extraordinary complexity and growth leading up to and including our IPO. The success we enjoy today, boasting over 1.6 million subscribers across North America and expanding operations into Europe and India, is a testament to PJ's unwavering commitment and his early confidence in our vision.
