    H.I.G.H. Ep. 37 | Mark Antal: Founder of Vokol
    Apr 7 2026
    Mark is building something that sits right at the intersection of sports, tech, and fan engagement. In this episode, we break down his journey into entrepreneurship and what it takes to build a product in a space that’s evolving as fast as sports betting, fantasy, and media are right now. This conversation goes beyond the product. It’s about vision, timing, and understanding where attention is going. We talk about: • The origin story behind Vokol • Building in a rapidly changing sports ecosystem • The role of community and engagement in modern sports platforms • Lessons learned from launching and scaling a startup • Where the future of sports interaction is heading What stood out to me is how intentional Mark has been about positioning Vokol in a space that’s still being defined. If you’re building in sports, tech, or anything community-driven, this is worth your time.
