“It opened up a lot of doors,” says Mike Doyle, CEO of Rent Like A Champion describing results of this “sports focused” tech company’s appearance on the popular television show Shark Tank this past October.
Started close to 10 years ago, the Chicago based business connects full-time homeowners with those seeking stays where the play is. From college football to pro golf events, now with the backing of major “Shark” savvy investors Mark Cuban and Chris Sacca, they’re looking at branching out into the Pocono Mountains- home to one of the top NASCAR destinations in the nation— Pocono Raceway.
“[It] fell into place,” Doyle details telling how when the show actually re-aired, it caught the attention of a professional that does logistics for an undisclosed NASCAR team.
Reporting that keeping team members from mechanics and pit crew to personnel all together at times poses a predicament, the representative asked how RLC could help keep them connected. And so off to the races it was!
With two Raceway events planned next summer, teams hope to have all homes booked by the end of this year.
“We’ve put a lot of time crafting documents to help make it an easy process,” he concluded directing attention to the company website RentLikeAChampion.com.
