Founded in 2019 by childhood friends Deven Hurt and Brad Chabra, the New York company has raised roughly $16M, counts 275,000+ registered users, and has processed over $140M in lifetime transaction volume across football, basketball, soccer, baseball, hockey, and MMA.
Luke Day
Luke Day is Co-founder and General Partner at MAGIC Fund, a $30M seed-stage venture firm built on the conviction that the best founders want money from people who've built things themselves. Focused on gaming, metaverse, and sports investments, Day came up through engineering recruiting at Discord and Roblox before co-founding one of the few truly decentralized VC funds - a 12-partner, multi-continent operation where each GP invests autonomously from their own domain expertise. MAGIC Fund's portfolio spans 250+ startups across 30+ countries with one unicorn (Retool) and a reported 5x return on its debut fund.
