Jobs in Daily Fantasy Sports are a SAFE BET w/ Dylan Cooper Senior VP at PrizePicks
Listen now
Description
Daily fantasy sports is booming. More customers = more money = more JOBS. The best part is that the competition for jobs in the industry is less fierce than in traditional sports because there is so much untapped potential. That's why we're speaking with our guest, Dylan Cooper, Senior VP of Revenue at PrizePicks, a rapidly growing daily fantasy platform. Dylan's unexpected journey into the industry started as a daily fantasy junkie, tracking every stat of every game like all good sports nerds do. While in college, he took on a side gig as a fantasy sportswriter that didn't break the bank, but it opened up relationships that helped steer his career. Dylan's current (very full-time) gig is a far stretch from his days as a fan and daily fantasy player. He started at PrizePicks in 2017 as an analyst when it was a true start-up. Dylan worked his way up through various roles as the company needed him to grow, and now, he's able to share his wisdom and strategies that can help others break into the fantasy sports field.
