Win-Win seeks a talented Product Manager with Technical chops to join our high-impact team!

Company:

Win-Win is a “Gamified Giving” platform that enables pro athletes and influencers to offer epic experiences and access to their fans, all while raising awareness and funding for impactful charitable causes in a sustainable, low effort, and more engaging way!

Pro athletes and influencers host online game tournaments on the Win-Win platform (Pick Em Pools, March Madness Challenges, etc). The tournaments are promoted on their social media pages to millions of fans and followers. Fans join the tournament by submitting their entry and then make a contribution to a charity chosen by the host athlete or influencer. Fans (now users) earn points for their picks and predictions, but instead of competing for money, they’re competing for experiences money simply can’t buy… like Steph Curry calling you on FaceTime or having dinner with Derek Carr after a Raiders game! Oh, and everybody from first place to last place wins something, guaranteed!

Win-Win has already raised over $1M (pre-seed) and is backed by an amazing group of investors including 500 Startups (named top 5 in batch 20 by TechCrunch), Sand Hill Angels, Duke University, and professional athletes!
