In Conversation with GJ Bovrisse: Building the Future of Sports Engagement with Whuups

New Delhi [India], August 29: Whuups isn’t just another social network. It’s the digital home of sports — a place where passion, technology, and creativity unite to connect fans, athletes, and creators across more than 155 countries.

In this exclusive interview, GJ Bovrisse, Founder and CEO of Whuups, takes us inside a vision where AI, blockchain, crypto, and NFTs are rewriting the rules of sports engagement and social media.

Q: Whuups has been called “the social media home for sports.” How did this journey begin?

GJ Bovrisse: I’ve always believed that sports deserve their own dedicated digital universe — a space where passion can thrive without the noise of unrelated content. The idea came from my own frustration with existing platforms, where sports are buried in a sea of distractions.

Sports are raw emotion, community, and shared experiences. Whuups was born to amplify that magic.

Q: What makes Whuups unique compared to other social media platforms?

GJ Bovrisse: One word: focus. We are all about sports — and nothing else. From Formula 1, cricket, football, and hockey, to esports and emerging disciplines, Whuups already covers over 150 sports… and counting.

It’s a global hub where users build a sports-first digital identity, connect with people who share their passions, and join vibrant communities that never sleep.

Q: India is a key market for Whuups. Why open a development studio there?

GJ Bovrisse: India is a digital powerhouse with unmatched passion for sports. Our Cyber City studio gives us access to an incredible pool of tech talent while keeping us close to millions of fans. This is more than an operational move — it’s a strategic investment in our future.

Q: You’ve talked about AI as a key part of Whuups’ future. What does that mean for users?

GJ Bovrisse: Imagine an AI that truly knows you — not just that you love football, but your favorite club, your favorite players, your preferred play styles.

With OpenAI integrated into Whuups, fans and creators can find the right content instantly, join the right communities, and get ultra-personalized recommendations. Our goal is to make the experience more engaging, more intuitive, and more rewarding.

Q: And how will crypto fit into this ecosystem?

GJ Bovrisse: We’re actively developing our own blockchain, and our Whuups cryptocurrency will launch soon. This isn’t just a trend — it’s a way to create real opportunities for athletes, creators, and fans.

It will power direct monetization of content, transparent fan rewards, and exclusive digital sports assets. Always with a careful, compliant, and value-driven approach.

Q: What’s next for Whuups in 2025 and beyond?

GJ Bovrisse: We’re building next-generation tools for creators, delivering faster app performance, and deepening community engagement.

Our mission is clear: Whuups will become the go-to platform for every sports lover worldwide — bringing fans closer to the action, both online and in the real world.

Q: Any message for sports fans in India?

GJ Bovrisse: Sports are more than games — they’re a universal language. And Whuups is giving that language a home. Whether you play, watch, or create… Whuups is your arena. Join us and be part of the future of sports.
