investors to participate in institutional quality funding
opportunities in the sports and entertainment
sector to enable the management of commercially
oriented fan engagement marketplaces for celebrity
Brands. Our business model creates heightened
engagement among fans, talent and sports franchises,
introduces new investment opportunities for
professionally managed capital markets and allows us
to unlock the potential of our technology assets. We have
an experienced management team of seasoned entrepreneurs,
technologists and advisors with numerous key industry

album. Fans now have the ability to be an investment partner with
their favorite celebrity and reap the rewards.

said Founder and CEO, Michael
Golomb. "Imagine if you could partner with your favorite
celebrity or professional athlete. What if you could be a part
owner in your favorite sports team or music group? Have access to
limited perks and experiences from your favorite star? Now you can.
With our patented technology, our platform provides access to
exclusive brand projects like never before. We are absolutely
thrilled to receive this industry recognition from FinTech
