Fanaty

About the offering

Fanaty is a Miami, FL-based sports-tech platform that aims to make finding and playing amateur sports as easy as booking an Uber. The company operates a two-sided marketplace connecting recreational players with partner sports facilities, currently active across 5 US states with 100+ partner fields, most held under exclusive multi-year agreements. Core Product: Fanaty's entry point is a proprietary 180° camera system installed at partner fields. Every game is automatically recorded and processed using AI to produce highlight clips, player ratings, and stats — at no cost to players. This content loop drives organic user acquisition: players discover Fanaty through shared highlight clips, download the app, book matches, and generate more content. The platform handles field discovery, match booking, player recruitment, and payment within the app. Traction: The platform has 50,000+ registered players, 70,000+ games recorded, and 250,000+ AI highlights created. Video subscription revenue from partner fields has grown from $40K (2022) to $65K (2023) to $83K (2024) to $128K (2025), compounding approximately 50% annually with minimal paid marketing. The company produces 30TB+ of video content per month. Business Model: Currently, revenue comes from video camera and subscription contracts paid by partner field operators. Match bookings — a take-rate on field fees — have just launched and are being rolled out across the existing 100+ field network. Future monetization includes a contracted content distribution deal and sponsorship inventory targeting sports brands, leveraging 50,000+ monthly app impressions. Market: The company's primary entry market is recreational soccer (265M+ players, 500K+ fields, $50B+ global market), with a stated expansion path into padel, basketball, tennis, volleyball, and pickleball using the same hardware and software stack. Team: CEO Federico Blumberg is a second-time operator who previously grew Credex from 3 to 20+ locations; he is a full-scholarship NAIA soccer alumni and finance valedictorian. Major shareholder Jorge Escobar is founder of Stadio Soccer, one of Miami's largest soccer facilities, and holds 20%+ voting power. Head of Customer Experience Carlos Samyn brings 10+ years at IBM and Citibank. Risks Noted by Company: Supply-side dependency on partner field retention; upfront hardware capital cost per field install (~$500, estimated 2–3 month payback); two-sided cold-start challenge when entering new markets or sports verticals. Raise Details: Raising $1M on a SAFE with a $7M valuation cap. Early-bird investors in this community round receive a reduced $5.6M cap (20% below standard). Minimum investment is $100. Use of funds: expand proprietary camera system to new partner fields and execute match-bookings playbook across existing and new field partners.
