Welcome to the Fanzter blog!

Posted by Aaron LaBerge on July 24, 2007

It’s pretty hard to put your finger on the day that makes a new venture feel “official” – the day you incorporate, the day you move into the new office space, the day you buy your first two cases of Red Bull. But this is definitely a milestone for our little company. Beyond simple updates to the products we’re building, this blog will serve as a way for us to share all Fanzter-related products, news, features, events, and much more.

Everything we do at Fanzter is focused on creating something new. And while we never underestimate the importance of usability, simplicity, design, and community, our end goal is to create products that people love to use. Building this company will take a team effort in every sense. If you’re reading this, then you’re a part of the team, so please let us know what’s on your mind.

Thanks,
Aaron and Eric (Founders, Fanzter, Inc.)

    Ditto. ESPN will miss your expertise and insight, but I’m sure all will be watching the rise of Fanzter.

    Best of luck Eric and Aaron! Build Fanzter large enough to take over and revitalize that old machete mill and put Collinsville back on the map. What a great headquarters, I’m sure your product will be ideal!

  12. I am so stoked. This is easily the best startup idea since Mobile ESPN. Good Luck.

    i seriously question the wisdom of leaving a really good steady job to work at a start-up.

    best of luck.

  15. Love the location … the girls of Lasalle’s make it a very attractive opportunity.

    Looks awesome. Can’t wait to learn more.

    Really hope the best for you.

  22. Barbara White on Aug 29th 2007

    Awesome! And you ARE in the right location…there is soooo much talent around here that you can tap into. Can I run away from MY corporate gig and join you???

  23. G Unit on Aug 29th 2007

    How does that saying go? A journey of a ka-billion miles starts with just one step? Even if the first steps are stumbling … as long as you are stumbling forward …
    How’s the technology capabilities of that old barn? I understand it has had a reputation for being unreliable. Perhaps, that is something that you guys can be change agents for?

  24. heidi on Aug 30th 2007
