The Fly Fred Story
The Beginning
Fly Fred President & CEO, Matt Mudano's 2019 investments into sneakers, trading cards, comics and art laid the foundation for what Fly Fred is today. Understanding the new dynamic and burgeoning market of culture-driven collectibles and how value is assigned to those assets became the primary focus. In 2020, Fly Fred began its transition from a private collection worth millions into an investment vehicle of the future and leader in proprietary research in this new and exciting asset class.
2020: A Milestone Year
Last year, Fly Fred cemented its place as a game-changing and forward thinking brand in the culture driven assets space. It started by launching the first-of-its-kind online private community to communicate and collaborate on investing in sneakers, sports cards and other limited commodities of the culture. In October, we launched the first two brick and mortar stores in Florida malls that displays, and sells these assets in a memorable in-store experience.
Today & Beyond
We expect 2021 to be a record-breaking year for both Fly Fred and the industry as a whole. With access to unparalleled amounts of data and capital from our investors and partners, we look forward to making strong headway into the asset class with our suite of online web applications and our community of traders and personnel. This allows us to gain the highest possible edge and yield the greatest return on behalf of our investors.
