About DubClub

1 in 10 Americans bet on sports weekly, and 9 in 10 of those people lose money over time. However, premium sports content creators (aka “cappers”) use DubClub to provide invaluable data inputs to inform the decisions made by the 40+ million Americans who bet on sports every week.

For cappers: DubClub provides a member buyer network along with a suite of tools, which cappers collectively use to grow their business and reliably deliver their content to their DubClub subscribers.

For subscribers: DubClub offers the fastest content delivery (via push, Telegram, email, Discord) along with communities integrations and “capper discovery” to power a great user experience.

• Dub, verb. Slang for the word “Win”.

• Club, noun. An association of people with common interests.

DubClub was founded by a team of Stanford football and baseball alumni, launched its first product in October 2021 and has scaled rapidly to hundreds of thousands of users (DubClub "members"), with tens of millions in revenue generated by cappers through the platform. We are backed with unannounced Series A funding from a leading Silicon Valley tech VC firm and a number of other impressive investors.

Win More Together™

The DubClub product empowers cappers (whom we call our “partners”) to make more money with DubClub than anywhere else, while equipping our partners to help millions of people make better decisions. DubClub collects a fee from each transaction processed through the product.

Thus, everyone wins more together with DubClub.

Our mission is to help people Win More Together™.

Our vision is to build the destination where people consume, discuss, and buy premium sports content from creators.

We will achieve our Mission and Vision by making our partners more money with DubClub than anywhere else, while we make more money.

DubClub is the Destination for Premium Sports Content Creators. Win More Together™.

Today, over 3 billion people globally identify as sports fans.

People have been betting on the outcome of sporting events for thousands of years (known as “playing”).

In the United States alone, Americans spend over $100 billion annually betting on sports and 1 in 10 Americans bet on sports every week.

Given the Supreme Court’s 2018 ruling to allow states to legalize sports betting, our industry is nascent and growing.

Most people who bet on sports end up with less money in their betting bankroll over time given the relative sophistication of sportsbooks.

Thus, tens of millions of people are turning to social media seeking capper expertise.

Without DubClub, there is no bespoke network for advantageous sports information and interaction.

As a result, DubClub exists to build an online ecosystem where everyone Wins More Together™.

Our Values (The 4 "C's")

We are product-centric in our approach to delivering growth for cappers. Our 4 main values are below.

1. Customer-obsession

*  **Customer Obsessed:** Sports cappers are our customers (aka “partners”). Our partners (cappers) are our highest priority and our greatest asset. Subscribers use DubClub because cappers use DubClub. Without cappers, we would have no problems to solve and thus DubClub wouldn't exist.

*  **Pain Solving:** Start small, solve pain, ship a simple solution, get feedback (seek the Answers to the Test), and iterate from there. We deliver growth for our partners by solving problems.

1. Collaboration

*  **Win More Together** ™ Positive vibes only. We rely on each other and trust each other. As a remote-first company, we prioritize sharing knowledge through meetings facilitated by written documentation. Collaboration is KEY. Documentation is GOLD.

*  **Accountability:** DubClub employees are provided resources to succeed and are valued for holding themselves accountable. Performance is measured and communicated with directness and transparency.

1. Creativity

*  **Informed Risk Taking:** We place educated bets (quite literally using the advice of cappers). We de-risk our big ideas with theses that we can test and data that provides us with a measurable outcome.

*  **Compound Value:** We double down on bets that can provide value for our partners (cappers) and our partners’ customers (subscribers).

1. Clarity

*  **Intentional decision-making:** *We make decisions collaboratively, but with intentionality. To avoid extraneous opinions that slow us down, we use the RAPID framework and provide Answers To The Test for components of the RAPID.

*  **Less is more:** We eliminate ambiguity and reduce complexity to increase comprehension. This applies to processes, protocols, documentation, code, and more. Clear eyes… full hearts… Win More Together™.

*  **Housekeeping:** Regular cleanup ensures that we avoid extraneous noise that can slow us down. We strive to be anti-chaos machines.
