The Problem
Digital sports betting in the US is still in the Stone Age. Today’s products still use the same antiquated table format that dates all the way back to the early 1800s, when they were writing odds on giant chalkboards. Because incumbents haven’t adapted to a mobile-first society, the current customer experience is painful, especially for a newer audience.
The Solution
FTW is building a mobile app for the next generation of sports bettors. Our mission is to make the sports betting experience more fun, social and easy-to-use by combining innovative gameplay with social gaming mechanics and a proprietary in-house odds engine. We’re backed by top-tier venture capital firms and co-founded by a team with a successful track record of building great products in social gaming (Zynga - Mafia Wars) and consumer tech (Google, Luxe, Groupon, CBS etc).
Why join FTW?
Best Time to Join - The company is well-funded but still small which is the best time to join because you get all the upside of getting in on the bottom floor (e.g. maximizing equity) but minimize the risk of not having enough runway to survive.
Be A Cultural Founder - Getting in this early means that you get to actually mold the company culture and experience what it’s like to be a true entrepreneur.
Chance to Build Something Revolutionary - The market is ripe for disruption and there's no doubt that whoever cracks the puzzle will win the market. This is also a rare opportunity for you to build a large-scale consumer app that potentially millions of people will use (instead of, say, boring old enterprise software that few people touch!).
Quality of the Team - Truly high-performing teams are hard to come by; joining FTW gives you an opportunity to collaborate with, learn from, and grow together with like-minded, successful tech veterans who have a track record of building great products.
