About YKB
Summary
YKB builds a social prediction app for sports fans, letting them log takes, compete with friends, and hold each other accountable when outcomes land. An AI agent generates interactive prompts called Receipts whenever news breaks, replacing the informal, forgettable group-chat argument with a structured, timestamped record of who said what. Starting with NFL, the product targets the broader culture fan who wants bragging rights, not a betting account.
Business model
Free to download on iOS.
Go-to-market
Sports fans discover and adopt the app through peer competition, with friends challenging each other directly inside the app; the initial wedge is NFL, with plans to expand into other sports and cultural verticals.
