Gotham Asset Management founder Joel Greenblatt is investing in Vindex, as it looks to build an esports infrastructure platform.
"[The leagues and publishers need to] keep up with the high demand of an enormous and growing fanbase, so to keep up with the execution of esports programs, content and events is incredibly difficult," Greenblatt told CNBC. "It's very hard to do so internally and very hard to do without a set of vendors and partners from outside."
