DASH was founded in 2015 by Jonathan Hufnagel in Plano, Texas. While working for FC Dallas in Major League Soccer, Hufnagel recognized the opportunity to launch DASH. With the prevalence of smartphones in every fans’ hand, he recognized the potential in digitizing team auctions and additional Ecommerce offerings. Through the auctions, fans could connect with their favorite teams in an emotional and engaging way, and at the same time get their hands on the most authentic memorabilia and team experiences. For the teams, they could connect with their fans and drive revenues for other business units of the club, such as merchandise, concessions, sponsorships, and ticket sales.
