Roast My Fantasy Sports Startup: DollarJunk
I turned fantasy sports betting games I've been running via spreadsheets for years into a mobile platform: DollarJunk. I currently have two games in beta DiamondJunk (MLB) and GriddyJunk (NFL).
Since it's baseball season, I'll go with the MLB concept: 4–6 friends draft MLB players from one game. When your players do good things (hits, HRs, grand slams), your friends pay you money. When they screw up (strikeouts, errors, groundouts into double plays), you pay them. Every at bat turns into a sweat among friends and the leaderboard tracks everyone's money totals. Here's a 30 second demo vid (if allowed): DiamondJunk Demo
Think fantasy sports meets live social wagering, but not against the house.
Key differences:
- no sportsbook
- no odds
- no house taking bets
- friends settle directly
Current stage:
- raised ~$200K
- MLB/NFL beta in progress
Roast questions:
- Do you instantly get it?
- Biggest objection?
- Why wouldn’t you play?
And, yes, I've considered that putting "Junk" in the name opens me up to all sorts of ridicule if you think the idea sucks.
