About Brimz

Building the future of Venue Intelligence.

Brimz was created to help sports organizations and live event venues better understand fan engagement in real time. By combining wearable technology, mobile experiences, and intelligent analytics, Brimz transforms fan energy into actionable Venue Intelligence.

Our story

From rivalry culture to Venue Intelligence.

Where it started

Brimz was inspired by a lifelong passion for sports communities and fan engagement. Before founding Brimz, Bennie Brimage created Rivalry Edition, a sports media platform built around storytelling and rivalry culture.

Through that experience, it became clear that while organizations measure attendance, ticket sales, and revenue, they still lack meaningful insight into how fans actually experience live events.

Where it's going

Brimz was created to bridge that gap: transforming real-time fan participation into actionable intelligence that helps organizations create better experiences for fans, teams, sponsors, and venues.

Today, Brimz is building the next generation of Venue Intelligence by combining wearable technology, mobile engagement, and analytics into one connected platform.
