Flip the script on daily fantasy.
Daily fantasy felt like a spreadsheet. Fans wanted the energy of their neighborhood sports bar: picks with friends, real stakes and nonstop banter. Smacktok set out to make every game personal.
We incubated it from zero. We built the edgy, hype-driven brand that says “talk smack and back it up,” designed and developed the full mobile app for contests, picks, payouts and social, and led the fundraise that brought in $2M, investing in the round ourselves.
| Number | What it measures |

| $2M | raise led by King Tide |
| Day 0 | first check written by us |
| 1 | acquisition led (Offsides) |
Every screen, built for the trash talk.
Play, earn Smacks, pull a graded card.
We designed a rewards loop that turns engagement into collectibles: Smacks earned in contests and the community redeem for graded sports cards, merch and legendary experiences.
Launch, state by state.
Geo-aware onboarding, eligibility and responsible gaming flows designed into the core product, not bolted on later.
