Sperm Racing is a male-fertility spectator competition project that stages sperm-sample races as live events with crypto-adjacent betting and prediction-market integration. Sperm Racing's Twitter Score is 62 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of September 2026, ranking #13,785 (top 5%) among 486,860 tracked accounts.
Sperm Racing was co-founded by Eric Zhu, Nick Small, Shane Fan, and Garrett Niconienko, and is backed by Karman Ventures alongside venture firms and private investors. The project raised $1.5 million to stage its April 25, 2025 debut event, with a portion of that funding raised in crypto. Polymarket partnered with the project for the event, and more than $300,000 in wagers were placed on the outcome of the main race.
Sperm Racing drew scrutiny after the April 2025 event when co-founder Zhu acknowledged that the race video shown was CGI-generated, though he stated it was produced from coordinates derived from real, prerecorded sperm-sample footage. The project has also attracted Nucleus Genomics as a sponsor, reflecting its positioning at the intersection of male fertility awareness and competitive entertainment. Looking ahead, Sperm Racing has announced a 2026 Sperm Racing World Cup featuring 128 semen samples, a San Francisco event, and a $100,000 grand prize.
Sperm Racing has published 168 posts and has 7,619 followers as of September 2026 on the platform. The account has been mentioned by 30 accounts, with 48 total mentions.
