I'm excited to announce that LunchTable (formerly Inphlu) has successfully closed an oversubscribed Seed funding round of $2.4M! 🚀🎉 This transformative funding, led by JumpStart Inc. and supported by Cintrifuse Capital, Black Tech Nation Ventures, Kobol Fund, South Loop Ventures, Ohio Gateway Tech Fund, and several Angel investors, will allow us to: 🚀 Expand our services to more professional and collegiate sports teams. 🚀 Enhance our platform with AI Data Insights Reports, providing teams with in-depth fan behavior and interactive analysis. 🚀 Grow our team – yes, we're hiring! Get ready for an exciting journey! For those new to LunchTable, here's a bit about us: LunchTable is the premier fan activation and engagement platform designed to 20X your advertising spend by turning your casual fans into influencers. 🤨 The Problem: Traditional fan engagement methods struggle to maintain fan interest beyond game day, leading to declining attendance, decreased merchandise sales, and a disconnect between fans and teams. 😎 Our Solution: LunchTable addresses this with a fan activation platform that employs gamification, exclusive content, and two-way interaction, transforming casual fans into passionate advocates. This boosts social media engagement, brand loyalty, and provides valuable data insights for teams, including fan preferences and sponsorship opportunities. When crafting our 12-month strategic plan, my primary focus was to differentiate ourselves by delivering innovation and value. The key missing element was assembling the right team to execute our vision. I'm proud to share that we not only have the right team, but we are laser-FOCUSED and "locked in!" 🎯 We are incredibly grateful for our customers who passionately believe in our product and are eager to elevate it. Thank you to my Advisors, Mentors, Investors, Friends, the unwavering support of my incredible Wife, our wonderful Children, my amazing Mother, and my dedicated Team. The list is long, but know this…without you, we would not be where we are today 🙏 I’m eternally grateful, and even more determined to dominate. Together, we are committed to helping brands build deeper connections and foster loyalty with their most passionate fans. Want to learn more about our work and future plans?
