The RC100 Startup Competition winner is an online platform known as FanSaves.
FanSaves has claimed the $100 000 early-stage investment prize in the second annual Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation competition.
Co-founder Shannon Ferguson says she and Kris McCarthy used to manage two minor professional hockey squads.
The pair came up with an idea to fill a void – a platform providing sports team sponsors with on-line fan discount coupons.
Ferguson says FanSaves plans use some of the money for an educational program.
The co-founder says the FanSaves platform is also useful to municipalities, BIAs, educational institutions, and other influencers.
