Philadelphia-based Sports Startup With Backing from Actor Freddie Prinze Jr. Launches New App
MyFandom, a Philadelphia-based startup recently launched its app, and it has received backing from Hollywood actor Freddie Prinze Jr., writes Ryan Mulligan for the Philadelphia Business Journal.
The new app was launched with the goal of creating an interactive digital space where sports fans can reminisce and connect.
It allows fans to share photos, videos, memories, and stories for various sporting events they may have previously attended, pulling from a database of around 100,000 games and matches.
According to co-founder Fred Shernoff, the app has already amassed thousands of users in just over a week after its Apple Store launch.
Fred co-founded the company with his brother, Josh, and Prinze Jr., who is also a co-owner in the venture.
Outside of acting, Prinze Jr. has displayed a passion for sports, especially WWE, having served in various different roles with the company.
He became interested in MyFandom because it gives fans “the tools to showcase their passion, connect with like-minded individuals, and create a lasting legacy.”
The app works by allowing users to tag the events they’ve attended and post into a feed where others who also attended those games or matches can chime in also.
