Listen Later

Ep. 127 features Dan Zimmerman from Verse Fantasy which fuses fantasy sports and real-money gaming.


Hear him discuss:

  • His original idea of launching a betting exchange, which he realized would be "a very difficult endeavor" - thus triggering an early pivot to DFS
  • How the LeagueSync product allows season-long fantasy players to win real-money on weekly matchups
  • Using product-led growth tactics to drive user adoption of the Verse Fantasy app
  • The recent launch of Verse Media, which was "built to serve as Verse Fantasy's own affiliate"
  • The various content-led marketing tactics that Verse is focusing on, and the metrics they're seeing from it
  • A breakdown of his current thesis on the emergence of DFS 3.0
  • Why he feels that Verse Fantasy is well insulated from any potential regulatory changes to DFS in various states 
  • Exclusive breaking news that Verse Fantasy just closed a $1.1 million pre-seed round led by Frontstage Ventures
