Hey FCFL Community!

I wanted to give you a bit of an update, as the Fan Controlled Football League has had an exciting past week, and I have never been more confident that we are building a league that will revolutionize the way fans think of and consume professional sports.

Last week, we officially launched the pre-sale of FAN Token, our proprietary ERC20-compatible Smart Token that drives all engagement across the FCFL digital platform. To learn more about the utility of FAN Token, check out our White Paper detailing the league and the token sale.

As we hope to target a more mainstream audience for the sale of FAN Token, the FCFL partnered with Indiegogo, the leading crowdfunding platform on the internet, to host the pre-sale on their network. This represents Indiegogo’s first ever token campaign, and is being managed in conjunction with MicroVentures. The announcement garnered significant press coverage, from the New York Times, to Forbes, to CoinDesk. In less than one week, we have already raised $2.5 million through the pre-sale campaign.

We first partnered with Indiegogo a couple of years ago to help raise capital and exposure for what would become the Salt Lake Screaming Eagles, the team that served as the proof-of-concept for the FCFL’s technology and fan engagement tools. That campaign exceeded its goals and helped us launch a terrific success story (one that was last week nominated for SportTechie’s Most Innovative Sports Team of 2017). We could not be more thrilled to once again join forces with Indiegogo as they begin their entry into the crypto world.

In addition, we recently produced a couple new videos introducing the FCFL fan engagement platform that will kick off in the summer of 2018, as well as addressing some FAQs we frequently hear from fans. For a longer dive into why we are building the FCFL, you can read our post on this new paradigm in sports management.

Over the next couple of weeks, we will have a few more significant announcements to bring your way, including a couple major partnerships that will help take the FCFL to the MOON!

In the meantime, please join the engaging conversation we have going on within our Telegram channel. There is no better way to speak directly to the co-founders of the FCFL, and we are actively seeking ideas and input as to how to create the most engaging professional sports experience the world has ever seen.

Power to the FANS!
