On the heels of announcing the launch of a new data destination for sports fans, fantasy players and folks who live to lay a wager, StatRankings founder and CEO Kevin Adams was our guest on the Gaming News Canada Show.

The founder of FTN Network and a former financial advisor and owner of a California hair salon franchise, Adams had a chin wag with Steve McAllister about converting his passion for fantasy sports into creating FTN and StatRankings, and also joining Underdog Fantasy as a seed investor. Adams also discussed the ever-expanding roster of data startups in the sports industry, and the appetite for fans, bettors and fantasy players to have access to as many numbers as possible.

We also asked Adams about StatRankings’ partnership with DFS subscription service One Week Season, preparing to raise the curtain on his business for the start of the NFL regular season, and what’s to come.
