In December 2012, Fancred was named ‘one of five startups to follow’ by the Boston Business Journal.
To get a feel for Fancred and its mission we recommend listening to an interview of our CEO & Founder, Hossein Kash Razzaghi [interview begins at 32 minutes 50 seconds] by VSporto’s The Daily Grind.
