Not quite sure how we managed to miss this a week ago, but our very local FanDuel won a Europa (the European Startup Awards) for the Best Entertainment, Sport or Leisure Startup Category. The judge’s comment was:
Having though deeply about fantasy games, the old HubDub team pivoted into sports and came up with Fanduel. They now have a smash hit on their hands. At the same time they are proving that you can run a startup that looks like it’s from the US, when in fact it’s from Europe.
FanDuel beat off PickLive.com and ERepublik. Well done to the Fanduel team!
