Description:
Jockbrokers is a self-contained, real money, athlete market where a customer can purchase “shares” of the athlete of their choice and hold them for as little as a few minutes or until the athlete’s retirement. Our online interface will have the look, feel, and options similar to what is found on (URL removed) or (URL removed) but will allow real-time trading and up-to-the-minute updates for all customers.
Our direct target market consists mainly of those who play fantasy sports which was estimated to be 30 million people in the U.S. alone in 2007. Jockbrokers offers a unique experience in relation to anything else that a sports enthusiast has enjoyed before in addition to offering an exciting and potentially profitable investment instrument. Our potential market is as large as anyone who has ever heard of Tiger Woods or any other athlete, has $50, and an internet connection.
