Fancred

edit

Fancred is the first social platform that lets fans build their sports credibility. It was founded in August 2012 by Hossein Kash Razzaghi, Jeremy Merle, and Craig Johnson, and Michael Pan.

Fancred is changing sports news and opinion through the verification and credibility of the source. Fancred provides a personalized way for sports fans to communicate, discover, and consume their favorite sports content.

In December 2012, just two weeks after received seed funding and weeks ahead of our scheduled launch, Fancred was named by the Boston Business Journal one of five startups to follow.

The Fancred app debuted for iOS in March 2013 and within 16 hours was #23 in the Apple App Store for free sports apps.

Fancred is a part of the 2013 Spring class at TechStars Boston.
