Hey mattmaroon, I just noticed your comment here. I was thinking of you specifically when reading this article. I could have sworn you were talking about daily fantasy 7 or 8 years ago, back before it was "a thing".

I'm curious, did the market play out like you thought it would? Is this about where you expect daily fantasy will end up, or are there still big changes ahead?

This is exactly where we thought it would go when we started Draftmix. It is very much like them, except we did it over 8.5 years ago. (We were in YC summer 2007 and had been working on it before that.)

It is a shame we weren't the ones to have gotten there. I would have learned some lessons from the rise and fall of online poker that the DFS guys don't seem to have.
