About
Based in South Carolina, Bandwagon builds solutions that help event venues identify each fan in attendance so that personalized game-day experiences can be delivered. The company uses proprietary, blockchain technology to trace individual attendee data from point-of-purchase through event day and beyond—regardless of where fans buy their tickets. This also allows customers to easily transfer, sell, or gift tickets easily.
Founder Story Nugget
“I wanted to use sports as a platform to help connect people. I believe sports allow folks regardless of their background, ethnicity, or religion to connect with each other, especially when they’re pulling for the same team. As a first-generation American, my family’s Jamaican. I remember growing up not having all the things my classmates had in their lives. However, I knew sports allowed us to feel like you’re in the same place in life. Sports gave us all that common factor. Watching and cheering for the same team is why we started Bandwagon. When I finished my MBA, I knew I wanted to help fans to have a better experience with each other on the day of the event.”
