Ticket delivery solutions provider FanDragon Technologies has launched with $12 million in funding, naming technologist and entrepreneur Robert Weiss its founding chief executive officer. Weiss has also joined the company’s board of directors.
With offices in Los Angeles, New York and London, FanDragon aims to create SaaS tools and mobile products to combat fraud and scalping across the full spectrum of ticketing markets by commercializing the Aventus digital assets-focused blockchain protocol—providing sports, music, theater, cinema, family entertainment, fandom events, and theme park ticket sellers additional data, transparency and control over the process. As a result, rightsholders can improve the fan experience, unlock additional revenue streams, and better protect the overall integrity of events.
