Then (2015)

A grad student. A pitch deck. A meeting with the GM of a stadium under construction. No technical partner. No funding. A clear vision of where fan experience was going.

The Gap

Bluetooth beacon infrastructure wasn't accessible to solo founders in 2015. The technology required an enterprise partner — IBM, Cisco, or equivalent — to install and manage at scale.

Now (2020+)

NFL OnePass. MLB Ballpark app. Mercedes-Benz Stadium's own mobile experience. Venue-specific ordering and wayfinding at every major arena in North America. The product exists. It just didn't have my name on it.
