Big Break: $3M Is In the Cards
"We, with our own love of sports cards and coming from backgrounds of video games, FinTech, live video, We kind of put all our superpowers together and said, "Hey, we can build a unified platform of live e-commerce, but we're going to specifically target the sports card vertical first."
Chad Capellman spoke with Eric Doty, founder of the sports card box breaking app Loupe (pronounced “loop”). Fresh off announcing an initial $3M fundraising round, Doty talks about how past experiences working in radio, with Xbox, Minecraft and other ventures prepared him for the app, which bundles live streaming of sports card “box breaking,” micro-transactions, and online community in one app. He also speaks candidly about learning how to pitch to venture capitalists, what cards he’s personally seeking and why he’s not a huge fan of the comedy Silicon Valley.
