Fantacycling surpassed its goal, reaching 113% of the minimum target in an international crowdfunding campaign on Seedrs
Fantacycling is a fantasy sports platform dedicated to cycling and a media hub for cycling news.
The cycling community is rapidly expanding, with about 5 million enthusiasts in Italy and 45 million globally. Inspired by this booming market, a group of friends from Tuscany launched the startup Fantacycling in 2020.
Fantacycling lets users create their own fantasy cycling teams, compare cyclists’ abilities, set lineups, and compete in various game modes. Players can challenge others globally in Championship mode, join or create private and public leagues, and compete in sponsored leagues with big prizes. The app also provides live race data, updated stats, and detailed cyclist histories.
Fantacycling’s core strength is its community, with 87.41% of users from Italy and others from Spain, France, Colombia, the U.S., Ecuador, and several European countries. The app is popular among users aged 25-34 (38%) and 35-44 (37%).
Fantacycling launched the crowdfunding campaign on Seedrs last week and has already reached 113% (€170K) of the minimum target. The campaign on Seedrs is open for one more month.
Investing in Fantacycling means supporting a rapidly growing startup with solid foundations and a market (TAM) worth $2 billion, considering the overlap between cycling enthusiasts and the growing interest in fantasy sports.
says Camillo Castellani, COO & Co-founder of Fantacycling.
