Former NFL safety Chris Crocker might have conceptualized the idea for his new e-commerce startup during his playing days but only now is he finally bringing it to market.

Enter FanFlow, an online memorabilia marketplace where fans can purchase autographs directly from players without having to face a middleman.

Throughout his career, which stretched over 10 years and with five organizations, Crocker said that he did his fair share of autograph signings and saw how athletes like himself were leaving money on the table because they were only paid a flat fee, surrendering a “huge portion of the marketshare because someone else facilitated a signing.
