Peter Horan Two words: Team and Opportunity. Mac Lackey is an experienced and energetic entrepreneur who has surrounded himself with a first class team. They have identified a compelling opportunity to serve the global community of soccer fans with an exciting mobile and social application. I am very excited about the prospects for Kyck.com and will continue to work hard to contribute to their success.

Jason Calacanis Met with the team last week and they are impressive and in a great, global market. I'm not a soccer fan so it's hard for me to judge the opportunity and competitive landscape, but they seem to be off to an excellent start.

Roham Gharegozlou Awesome product, very impressive team with deep domain knowledge and strong passion for the business. I'm excited to work closely with Mac and the team to expand aggressively and help make KYCK dominant in every corner of the soccer / football / futbol universe.

Giordano Bruno Contestabile Really excited about the forthcoming launch, and about being an investor in the company. The audience for this is as big as they come, and it's an extremely under served market. The team has lots of relevant experience and several successful exits behind them. Go Kyck!
