Bring a Problem. Leave With a Build Plan.
You do not need a company, a co-founder, a deck or a technical background. You need one real problem in sports that you understand better than most people alive.

First moves
Your First Three Steps.
Write the problem in one sentence
No solution, no product name. Just the friction, the person who feels it, and how often it happens.
Talk to five people who have it
Not friends. People who live it. Ask what they do today instead — that workaround is your competition.
Build the smallest thing that proves it
One screen, one workflow, one agent. If it can't be shown to a stranger in 90 seconds, it's too big.
What FanHacks is and isn't
Set Expectations Early.
- A founder creation and venture-building platform for sports.
- A place to prototype fast with AI-native tools.
- Live events used as real-world testbeds for real users.
- Commercialization support: pilots, buyers, distribution.
- Not a guarantee of funding, admission or partnership.
- Not an accelerator that trades cash for a fixed equity slice by default.
- Not a course. You build, or nothing happens.
- Not affiliated with any league or rights holder unless separately authorized.
