FISHERS, Ind. — tech startup Spokenote has teamed up with the Pro Volleyball Federation’s 2025 expansion team, Indy Ignite, as the official jersey patch sponsor for the team’s opening season. This collaboration introduces fans to an innovative way to connect with the team through exclusive content accessed via scannable code patches on the players’ jerseys.

“Indy Ignite’s first season is the perfect opportunity for Spokenote to showcase how our technology can bring fans and teams closer together,” said John Wechsler, Founder and CEO of Spokenote. “We’re proud to be a part of their launch, helping fans access exclusive content that elevates their connection to the team.”

The team’s kickoff marks an exciting time for volleyball in Indiana, highlighted by their sold-out home opener, and this partnership helps them deliver an experience that goes beyond just watching the game. Spokenote’s technology offers fans a unique way to interact with the team and stay connected throughout the season.

“We’re thrilled to team up with Spokenote as our official patch sponsor,” said Mary Kay Huse, President & General Manager of Indy Ignite. “Spokenote really gets our passion for connection and community—two things that are at the heart of what we do at Indy Ignite. This partnership is a great way to take the fan experience to the next level by using technology to bring fans even closer to the action and our players. Their ability to change how people connect fits perfectly with our vision of making professional volleyball an exciting and distinctive experience that brings people together. We’re building something truly special here for our fans and the Indiana community.”

The jersey patch is just the beginning of the partnership between Spokenote and Ignite. The team has also launched Spokenote-enabled coasters featuring more fan-engaging content. The branded coasters are circulated around Central Indiana and encourage new and existing fans to check out a match. Spokenote will also serve as the Home Match Sponsor for Military Appreciation Night on Thursday, May 1, 2025, a game dedicated to honoring military service members and veterans.

Fans can experience Spokenote in action during all Ignite home games this season. Be sure to scan the jersey patch and see what’s waiting for you.
