Today, we’re diving into two of my passions: sports and investing!
Deven Hurt is the co-founder and CEO of PredictionStrike, a fantasy sports stock market that allows users to buy and sell shares of professional athletes as if they were stocks. He saw a golden opportunity at the intersection of personal finance and fantasy sports, one that has been magnified by the recent trend of stock market gamification.
In addition to earning a bachelor’s degree from Harvard (where he’s now in law school), he’s had stints at Google, Microsoft, the NBA, and Nike. PredictionStrike was born from his passion for sports and aims to serve every type of sports fan. Since its founding in 2018, PredictionStrike has already completed over $4.5M worth of transactions on their network and received $1.9M in funding.
Deven’s dream is to bring consumer investing into an exciting new arena where the thought of sports and the share prices of your athletes are one and the same. I’m eager to share Deven’s story of what it’s like to navigate the uncharted waters of entrepreneurship and industry disruption.
