DataCurve Brings Persistent Fan Intelligence to Databricks Marketplace

In collaboration with v4c.ai, DataCurve integrated AURA™ with Databricks Marketplace to help sports, media, and entertainment organizations turn fragmented fan data into persistent intelligence for engagement, sponsorship, commerce, and revenue growth.

AURA™, live on Databricks Marketplace

DataCurve today announced that AURA™, its fan identity and intelligence
platform, is now available on Databricks Marketplace. AURA gives sports, media, and entertainment organizations a new way to connect their fan data and build persistent intelligence around their audience.

The problem we built AURA to solve

Sports organizations reach millions of fans, but much of the resulting data and relationships are fragmented across ticketing, streaming, merchandise, social platforms, and intermediaries. The result is a commercial blind spot that limits their ability to understand fans, retain them, grow revenue per fan, and demonstrate their value to sponsors.

What AURA does

AURA builds persistent intelligence around each fan, creating an evolving understanding of who they are, what they care about, how they behave, and how their relationship with the organization changes over time.

In a recent streaming deployment around the soccer World Cup, AURA helped convert 33.8% of anonymous visitors into identified fan relationships with zero paid media.

Why Databricks

"Sports creates incredibly valuable moments, but much of the resulting fan relationship sits across platforms and intermediaries," said Aman Johar, Co-Founder and CEO of DataCurve. "AURA gives organizations a way to turn those fragmented interactions into intelligence assets that compound with each new fan engagement. For any organization already running on Databricks, AURA is a natural extension for turning their data into fan relationships that they can measure, grow, and monetize."

The Databricks-native integration lets organizations connect data in their environment to AURA and build a persistent fan intelligence layer. This intelligence can be enriched with permitted data from partners and sponsors, creating a more complete understanding of each fan without replacing existing data infrastructure. The outcome is better engagement, retention, commerce, and sponsorship, while operating within existing data governance and permission frameworks.

In Collaboration with v4c.ai

DataCurve worked with v4c.ai, a strategic boutique pure-play Databricks services partner, to architect and deliver the integration for AURA. The collaboration brought DataCurve’s fan identity and intelligence technology onto the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, creating a native offering now available to customers through Databricks Marketplace.

“Bringing a product like AURA to the Databricks ecosystem requires more than an integration. It requires the right strategy, architecture, engineering expertise, and deep understanding of how to build and operationalize solutions natively on the Databricks Platform,” said Michael Gibson, CRO at v4c.ai. “That’s where v4c brings significant value. Our team worked with DataCurve to architect and deliver a scalable Databricks foundation for AURA, bringing their vision to life as a solution that can now reach organizations worldwide and transform fan intelligence into stronger engagement, deeper relationships, and new opportunities for growth.”

Identity as AI infrastructure

DataCurve sees identity becoming increasingly important as AI changes how organizations understand and engage their audiences. AI can generate content and automate campaigns, but its ability to make useful decisions depends on knowing who the fan is, the context around that fan, and how that relationship has developed over time.
