We sold out of our card games in the 2023 football season. We made some revisions to the card game and are planning a big launch for the 2024 football season. We currently only make football games. The concept of the game is transferable to other sports including basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, etc.
We do not have a budget to offer a salary. You would receive equity in the company (2 – 4% depending on your talent level). We hope to be able to add your salary to the budget. You would also receive a chunk of equity (6%) to build your team.
The U.S. fantasy sports industry size is $9.48 Billion and it is projected to continue increasing. The global sports betting industry size is $242 Billion and it is projected to continue increasing. We have a fun and unique card game. If you think you can turn the card game into a functional mobile application, we want to hear from you.
