Startup Story: Harold Hughes & Bandwagon Attack Ticket Fraud

Phil Yanov and Scott Pfeiffer talk to Harold Hughes about his Startup Bandwagon. Bandwagon brings blockchain to bear on tickets for sporting events. Their system allows teams to know who is in the seats, creating a better experience and offering a path to reduce ticket fraud for sporting and musical events. Harold talks about his jump from a corporate gig into the world of startups and fundraising. They have just begun a crowdfunding equity campaign and talk about the challenges of getting that started. We talk about pivots and how does the startup know when is the right time. He talks about getting his first investors via social media. And we ask him how he has been so successful in getting the publicity his startup needed to build community support. Learn more about Bandwagon on Twitter @OneBandWagonFan. Find us at @TechAfterFive.
