Companies that sponsor chess players

Hello, does anybody know of any companies that sponsor chess players? I am looking for companies that have either sponsored players in the past or are currently sponsoring.

Alright thank you, any others?

@bankaccountblues how does one go about getting a sponsor from alpari?

What about in the Americas?

 
Sponsorships in the  in the US aren't very common at all. You might get some smaller local companies that will sponsor local, strong players but that is a very individual thing.

There have been companies in the past that have sponsored some events but as far as I'm aware not very many do anymore.

Alright thank you very much. I was inquiring because I am a rising scholastic player but due to my geographically isolated location cannot attend tournanents regularly. I set up a gofundme but it hasnt been much sucess

u know, how to trade with Alpari?

does TAta steel company sponsor chess players?

Fisher knows better...

Magnus Carlsen is sponsored by Puma

Interesting question!
