Bet on Her

Women’s sports is exploding — but the infrastructure still isn’t. Dana and JD talk through how Bet on Her accidentally became a tech company: the origin story of the Bet on Her app, the behind-the-scenes grind of building it without investors, and what they learned trying to stitch together schedules, scores, and stats across a fragmented landscape. The goal isn’t “winning alone” — it’s building a collective that makes women’s sports easier to follow for everyone. Download the app, tell them what’s missing, and join the journey.
