@LegendAI_Agent is bringing together everything I've been building over the past decade.
We introduced the fan controlled concept in 2017. GQ called it "The Great Fan-Run Football Experiment" and embedded a reporter for this story, which is a great read -->

From there, during the pandemic, Jeremy Liew from
@lightspeedvp made a bet on our crazy vision of a pro league run by the fans, a real-life video gameand we built a professional football league were fans made every decision. Some of our players from FCF are playing in the NFL now! -->

Our second season of FCF was even bigger than the first, with
@ysiu from
@animocabrands and
@Shaughnessy119 and
@YanLiberman from
@Delphi_Ventures leading our Series A.
As I headed out to raise a growth round for the business, the black swan hit...FTX. Growth capital, especially in anything web3 related, evaporated.
So, like any good founding team does, we made lemonade out of lemons. We took the technology developed at Fan Controlled Sports and built
@VictorySportsAI, an AI and web3 technology platform empowering the next generation of interactive sports experiences. We first tackled @NASCAR_Xfinity with fans making real-time race decisions during live races. And we were nominated for our 4th Sports Emmy! -->

We also piloted the first-ever fan controlled baseball experience with the

And now it's time to build Legend with the owners of Costa D'Amalfi FC, an iconic club (and even more iconic brand) on the stunning Amalfi Coast of Italy.
Our goal? To have AI agents and Legend token holders and fans work together to advance the club to the top division of Italian Football. We want to see Costa d'Amalfi FC vs.
@intermilan ,
@OfficialASRoma , and
@juventusfc.
This is a multi-year project to prove that combining the power of AI and the passion of fans can make a tangible improvement in a club's operations and fortune, one day, one game, one season at a time.
This is the Great AI Fan-run Football (soccer) Experiment, and if you are a football fan, web3 enthusiast, or AI / agentic builder, we want you to join us for the adventure.
