Company profile
researched Sep 2026Virtual Tables, which markets its product under the VRTL name, describes itself as an operating system for fan engagement built for sports teams, leagues, brands and rights holders seeking to activate audiences outside the physical venue. The platform combines video, commerce, sponsor-ready inventory, data collection and live autograph sessions in a single environment, positioning digital fans as a growth segment that is underserved by platforms designed for passive viewing rather than participation.
The company originated as a virtual hosting platform serving the event industry and other business sectors, producing white-labeled digital events intended to approximate the feel of live in-person gatherings. Example applications include pre-show virtual meet-and-greets and autograph sessions offered as sponsor assets at large sports-related events.
Business model
Virtual Tables supplies a white-labeled, hosted platform that organizations use to run branded digital fan experiences and events. Sponsor-ready placements and integrated commerce within the experiences, together with data collection on participating fans, are presented as the value delivered to clients such as teams, leagues, brands and rights holders.
Traction
The company reports having activated more than 200,000 fans across over 130 countries in 10 languages, with 75% active engagement across events. Its published client references include American Express, Chauvet Professional, The Rustic Oven, Lupus Research Alliance and The Ali Forney Center, and its platform was used to recreate autograph sessions as a sponsor asset for the New York Yankees Homecoming Dinner; other clients are described as confidential. The company participated in a Techstars accelerator run in partnership with the Minnesota Twins.
