60 Sec Pitch - Dean Lynn - Play Fund Win Co Founder

The Crisis Facing Grassroots Clubs

The “fundraising tools” clubs rely on are broken.

Lottery Schemes → “1980s paper & cash.”

Direct Debits → “20-field forms. Gen Z won’t.”

DIY Raffles → “Volunteers chasing tickets. 0 time”

Lotteries → “Who under 40 still plays?”

Clubs Are Losing Millions Every Year 🤯

Traditional Methods Suck 🤮

Compliance → “Too risky, complex rules.”

Paper → “Manual, admin heavy.”

Zero Engagement → “Gen Z & Alpha aren’t buying it.”

🪦The graveyard is full of outdated fundraising models.
We’re building the future fans will actually use.

Fan fundraising, rebuilt for the future.
