College sports fans! FanCave is the first platform for fans to offer recruits money contingent on playing for a specific team. This only became possible March 1st, as rapid regulation change paved the way for a collegiate “free agency” to be compliant.
Hi ProductHunt - this is Nick. My co-founder, Luke, and I are lifelong college sports fans who met at the University of Nebraska. FanCave allows college sports fans like us to assemble our dream teams.
FanCave is the 1st platform where you can make $$$ offers to recruits and transfer portal targets on the condition that they attend your favorite school - if they don't, you get your offer back to send to the next big name prospect :)
Luke recently led product at a Series B healthtech company, and prior was a Product Manager at Microsoft. I've been building consumer web and mobile apps from scratch for years, most recently scaling a live sports chat app to 1k WAU. While our post-grad jobs took us cross-country, college sports always brought us together.
Armed with new regulation changes (thanks, NCAA!) and sheer passion, we couldn’t sit on the sidelines any longer: we’re finally building what we've always wanted.
Would love your feedback!
