Sam Mathews, Co-founder / Chairman, FNATIC

One of the longest-running team brands in the esports scene, FNATIC was founded by Australian Sam Mathews and his mother Anne, so I wanted to get a better sense of his story of the team and its journey. Sam’s a busy man so thankfully diaries were able to align and we had a great half hour chat about everything from selling a car to finance the team in the earliest days through to what the future holds.
