In this premiere episode of the 2000 Percent Raise, host and venture capitalist John Cerasani gives us an inside look at his latest investment in MoneyLine, interviewing both the CEO of the company and a major investor well known in the NFL. To begin, guest Cole Warner, CEO and Co-Founder, sheds light on how MoneyLine is different from other sports gambling companies, including the top criteria venture capitalists and early stage investors considered in choosing to invest in his business. Then, Roddy White, a former NFL All-Pro wide receiver who is being considered for the Hall of Fame, shares how he first got involved in fantasy football, and why he chose to invest in MoneyLine. Both guests, along with John, enlighten us about sports gambling trends in venture capital, and the future of the industry. Another major investor seeing the huge potential for growth in MoneyLine is Austin Ekeler of the Los Angeles Chargers. MoneyLine has distinguished itself from some of the big name players, like DraftKings and FanDuel, by targeting states not yet legalized with sports betting.  Strategically,, even before sports betting became legalized in some areas, MoneyLine was transitioning from a free-to-play model to also being a real money game based on fantasy sports laws that allowed for two players from two or more separate teams.  Topics covered in this interview include:—John's reasons for providing venture capital to MoneyLine, including the company's ability to be “a great funnel” into Sportsbooks, and also to train and engage novice gamblers. He also shares what qualities he saw in Cole as a successful entrepreneur. –Roddy reveals that MoneyLine enables an ease of entry,  bringing common fun by allowing people to come out and play and “get their feet wet,” and “just feel comfortable” with the players. Later, they can invest if/when they want. A few insights venture capitalists and early stage investors looked for in evaluating a company like MoneyLine: The Actual Product The Customer Base And Location Total Lifetime Of A Customer The Cost To Acquire A Customer The Ability To Scale Up –Sports gambling companies are valued differently than other businesses, like market research firms, for example. One company was acquired for $80 to $90 million with 80,000 total customers. Another company was bought for $65 million with 15,000 total depositing players. MoneyLine is in the fixed-odds fantasy space, where customer acquisition numbers can be much lower, according to Cole, making for a great business model. –Football stories from Roddy White and John are shared, with fun insights like: Roddy's friendship with Julio Jones, who is now a wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, catching passes from Tom Brady.  “When Tom Brady plays cards, he stacks the deck. He has all the aces, he has all the faces,” Roddy chuckles. Drew Henson, a former Major League Baseball third baseman and NFL quarterback, introduced Roddy to fantasy football, where the two later hosted a related podcast. –Discussions on getting money to college football players in fair and equitable ways, and both John's and Roddy's insights from their college days trying to earn a living while playing football (John for Notre Dame and Roddy for University of Alabama at Birmingham). Listen in to find out Roddy White's favorite movie, a question John will be asking each guest. Additional Notes: The legalization of sports betting in some states, after the Supreme Court in 2018 ended federal bans on its expansion, is creating a potential multi-billion industry, according to this article in Bloomberg:  https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2021-opinion-online-sports-betting-future-of-american-gambling/ ABOUT COLE WARNER Cole is co-founder and CEO of MoneyLine, “the minor leagues of the sports gambling industry,” backed by Comcast & NBC. MoneyLine is a fixed-odds fantasy sports gaming operator with more than 200,000 players.  Cole started the company with Jason Schubert, CTO, as a side job after graduating from Louisiana State University, majoring in sports marketing.  Follow Cole: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneylineapp/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/moneylineapp?lang=en Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/moneylineapp/?viewAsMember=true ABOUT RODDY WHITE: Roddy is a former NFL All-Pro wide receiver with the Atlanta Falcons. He finished his career as the franchise's leader in receiving yards and catches, and has been nominated to the Hall of Fame. Follow Roddy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roddywhite8410/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/roddywhitetv Career Highlights: https://www.facebook.com/NFLThrowback/videos/roddy-white-career-highlights/179316973668345 ABOUT JOHN CERASANI: John is a highly successful serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist and author, who “walks the talk” in the financial world.   At age 27, he left his corporate job to give himself what he now calls a “2000 percent raise” by becoming self-employed.  Hence, he named his podcast accordingly. Starting at his kitchen table, John grew an insurance company, in less than a decade, into a business he later sold for tens of millions of dollars. By putting himself on top of “the Org Chart,” he was able to not only reap the benefits of increased pay, but he also built equity for himself, instead of for others for whom he worked.   He now loves sharing his lessons learned along the way with the masses to help listeners elevate their game and grow from his business insights, private investment tips and life advice related to finances.   The 2000 Percent Raise podcast was created in response to demand from his large social media following on Instagram and TikTok that wanted more of his expertise. Some of those social media posts include 60-second clips, ranging from telling his audience the proper way to evaluate a rental property, to insights on how he became part of the investment group that bought the Newport Beach Marriott — which they then reimagined as The Vea.  Based out of Chicago and Los Angeles, John will continually bring many high-profile guests on his podcast, including: athletes, celebrities, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and industry insiders.  John's no-nonsense approach to sharing is designed to entertain and educate at the same time.

Ryan Webster is a multifamily investor and operator. Before he began working in real estate, Ryan enjoyed the opportunity to build things and sell them off. But then he reached a turning point in his mid-life journey (a crisis, if you will); something was still missing, and that time with his family. In our path to provide and pursue excellence, it's easy to lose sight of why you are doing it in the first place. So he pivoted towards investment and managed a way to make passive income while also investing alongside other strategic partners who shared his commitment to excellence. That is how Equity Yield Group exists today. Equity Yield Group's aim is one of the most prominent and trusted real estate investment firms specializing in institutional grade multifamily assets. What makes them different is their groundbreaking formula. Their company provides clients with robust, calculated returns without losing sight of our ultimate goal; preserving capital.
