Our Story
Our story began with a single question: why should fans endure sky-high fees and constant fraud? Notre Dame Computer Science student, Rafael Labuto, connected with venture capitalist Tim Connors over this shared frustration they both witnessed with Notre Dame Football. Determined to challenge the status quo, they teamed up with Notre Dame ESTEEM grad, Kenan Wursthorn, to create a safe, affordable, fan-first platform.
In August of 2024, we recruited a small group of passionate student software engineers to help bring our idea to fruition. In December of 2024 - guided by CTO Lance Massey - our team launched our MVP. The response proved fans deserved better. One month later, the 1842 Fund and PivotNorth Capital supported our cause by helping us to close our first round of fundraising.
Fueled by that validation, we've embraced our role as the underdog taking on corporate giants. Big problems call for bold, innovative solutions - and fans shouldn't settle for anything less.
