We're building the future of employee engagement
Rivalyn was created from a simple belief: shared sporting moments have the power to bring people together in ways that traditional engagement tools simply cannot.
Turn global sports events into engaging company-wide experiences
Sports events have always been great connectors. The FIFA World Cup, Formula 1, the Champions League — these moments capture the world's attention and generate shared excitement across cultures, languages, and time zones.
But most companies let this energy pass them by. Employees follow events individually, disconnected from their colleagues. The natural conversation never happens at scale.
Rivalyn changes that. By giving companies the tools to run structured, branded, social prediction games around any major event, we help HR and People teams transform passive viewers into active, connected participants.
Rivalyn
Employee Engagement Platform
What we believe in and how we build
Rivalyn is shaped by a clear set of principles that guide every feature, every decision, and every customer relationship.
Built for results
We focus on measurable engagement outcomes — not vanity features. Every tool in Rivalyn is designed to move the needle on participation and connection.
People first
We believe engaged employees build better companies. Rivalyn exists to create the moments that remind people why their workplace matters.
Globally minded
Sports is a universal language. We built Rivalyn to work equally well for a 30-person startup and a 10,000-person global enterprise.
Seriously fun
Engagement tools don't have to be boring. We've built something your employees will actually look forward to using — because fun is the strategy.
From idea to global platform
Rivalyn was built in close partnership with enterprise HR teams — shaped by real feedback, real events, and real results.
The idea takes shape
During the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the team at IZXL noticed how much energy sports events generated — and how little of that energy companies were capturing. The concept for Rivalyn was born.
Product development begins
IZXL began building the first version of Rivalyn, focused on prediction pools and live leaderboards. Initial pilots with enterprise clients validated the core value proposition.
Platform expansion
Rivalyn expanded its feature set to include mini competitions, social updates, and advanced analytics. The platform ran its first large-scale company campaigns across multiple sports.
International launch
With multi-language support and enterprise-grade infrastructure, Rivalyn opened to international companies across Europe, North America, and beyond.
Today
Rivalyn is the leading B2B employee engagement platform built around shared sporting experiences — helping companies of all sizes create meaningful moments for their teams.
