In just six months since our launch, we've achieved remarkable success with over $15 million in packs opened and tens of thousands of cards shipped. Our company has garnered support from some of the most reputable investors in the industry, including those who have previously funded renowned companies like DraftKings, StockX, and The Athletic.
