GoKawiilFanFeed co-founder details AI platform tracking fans' live-event history
Cole Rubin, co-founder of FanFeed, described the startup's AI-powered platform that compiles a user's complete history of concerts and games attended, letting fans access tickets, content and friend activity in one place. Rubin said the product also gives teams, artists and universities first-party data on fan attendance to help them craft more personalized offers. He credited co-founder Jack Phifer with building the proprietary technology that automatically surfaces these insights rather than requiring manual entry.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The platform's pitch to automatically surface years of attendance data, rather than relying on fans self-reporting, could make the service more viable than earlier fan-tracking apps that failed due to friction, Rubin suggests. For rights-holders like teams and venues, access to first-party fan data could become a competitive tool in a ticketing industry long dominated by large incumbents, though whether FanFeed can scale against those players remains untested.
