Case Study: 1v1Me raises $2 million in pre-seed funding with On Deck

1v1Me - Customer Case Study

The customer, 1v1Me, a startup video game wagering platform, was founded by a former software engineer struggling to break free from his corporate role and fund his new venture. The challenge was to transition from a side project managed through group chats and Venmo to a scalable, trusted company capable of raising significant capital.

The vendor, On Deck, provided its fellowship program and Fundraising Concierge service. This support helped 1v1Me's founders master their pitch, connect with a curated network of investors, and successfully raise a $2 million pre-seed round. The funding from On Deck and other investors allowed 1v1Me to build its team and cultivate trust within the gaming community, resulting in a 13,000-person waitlist at launch.
