Jeff Lin is the co-founder of Fanchest, a Brooklyn-based startup that ships boxes of your favorite team's gear straight to your door. Fanchest has high profile investors like NFL stars Drew Brees and Von Miller.
Lin explains he and his business partner saw a shift towards curation and convenience in the e-commerce world, but before Fanchest, there was nothing like that for sports gear. Lin says Fanchest boxes start at $59 and go all the way up to $1000.
Lin reveals 75% of Fanchest buyers are women looking for that perfect gift for their significant other. Fanchest is working with over 100 vendors and has raised over $5 million in funding since 2015.
