Five Star Fans, the platform that empowers fans to shape the future legacy of their universities and support incoming athletes, emerged victorious at the highly competitive FSGA Elevator Pitch competition held at the 2024 Winter Conference in Las Vegas.

Tina Provost, Co-Founder and CEO of Five Star Fans, expressed her gratitude upon edging out other participants in a close vote to win the competition. “For over 20 years, the FSGA awards have celebrated innovation and excellence in our industry, and to have Five Star Fans selected as this year’s pitch winner is a thrilling and humbling experience,” said Provost. “As two female founders in a male-dominated industry, this victory holds special significance. We are grateful to the FSGA and its members for their support and recognition and look forward to continuing to innovate and inspire in the years to come.”

The FSGA Winter Conference serves as a premier gathering for professionals and enthusiasts across the sports industry, providing a platform for networking, learning, and recognizing excellence. A highlight of the event is the Elevator Pitch competition, where up-and-coming fantasy and sports gaming businesses, or those with revolutionary ideas, can showcase their concepts to industry leaders in hopes of winning the attendee vote after three-minute pitches.
