In November 2022, RedHawk Ventures invested a tranched $25,000 in The Fan’s Place seed SAFE note. The note was set at a $5 million pre-money valuation and was filled alongside Rivermint Capital and Solidea Capital.

An Indianapolis based company, The Fan’s Place is a developer of a customer loyalty and marketing platform designed to help businesses engage their sports fan customers. The company's platform offers a free-to-play sports rewards application that allows making predictions on upcoming games, earning points based on the accuracy of their predictions and redeeming those points for cash back on purchases, enabling businesses to reward their loyal customers and incentivizing them to spend more money.

The company’s established and prospering partnership with Anheuser Busch in 2023 allowed for tremendous growth on the platform and further opportunity for expansion in 2024. The pilot application was also incorporated into a second Dave & Buster’s location and saw 475 user GPS check-ins at small businesses in Q4 . Furthering brand sponsors and looking into major sports league integrations apart from the NFL are key objectives for The Fan’s Place next year.
