FANWAGN

?? Celebrating Lauren Teague: WISE Portland's 2024 Woman of Inspiration! Our founder, Lauren, just won the WISE Portland Woman of Inspiration Award, and we're going to brag a little (but not too much). Quick backstory: From transforming how pro golf connects online at the PGA TOUR to launching FANWAGN, she's been quietly revolutionizing the game – from one tweet to one jersey at a time. We're not just building a marketplace over here. Lauren's vision is to create new ways for fans and teams to think about their apparel, its meaning, and its impact on our hearts and our planet. ?????? When nominating Lauren, our team was asked to describe her. We came up with an authentic, tenacious, and true trailblazer who shows up, does the work, and creates something meaningful. (Wouldn't you agree?) This award? It's not just about Lauren. It's about every fan who believes their favorite jersey deserves to be in more stadiums and campuses instead of a landfill. It's about the community we're building and stories of fandom passed along from closet to closet. It's about doing well while also doing good. Second Fan Fashion? isn't just a business. It's a movement. And we're just getting started. ?? #SecondFanFashion #WISEPortland #WomanofInspiration

Yesterday, we celebrated National Girls and Women in Sports Day and the incredible women who’ve made their mark in sports. Did you know that 69% of women who played sports growing up have held at least one leadership role outside the home? Our founder, Lauren Teague, is a shining example of how sports shape careers and lives. From being the original voice of @PGATOUR in 2008 to leading FanWagn, Lauren’s journey shows how sports build leadership, resilience, and community. Her story is proof that the lessons learned in sports — teamwork, perseverance, and passion — stay with you throughout your career. Now, Lauren is passing that torch to the next generation of leaders, as the WISE Portland Woman of Inspiration for 2024. ?? JOIN THE MOVEMENT: Will you help us amplify this impact?

Portland is emerging as the epicenter of women’s sports. This is evident in the illustrious herstory of the Portland Thorns FC Thorns and The Standard LPGA Portland Classic, the inspirational success of The Sports Bra, and the anticipation of the WNBA Portland team coming in 2026. As we build FANWAGN, we’re honored to be part of this shift by giving fans a way to represent their love for women’s sports. We believe fandom is for every body and Portland’s sports scene embraces this like no other place. ?? Ready to hop on the wagon? Shop our expanding stock of women’s sports merch on FanWagn.com, and don’t forget to add the “Everyone Sports Women’s Sports” sticker to your cart while you’re there. #FandomForAll #WomenInSports #Portland #SecondFanFashion #WNBA #NWSL

FanWagn fam, you know that what we’re doing is more than just fan gear—it’s a recommerce movement. The social epicenter of where share and build that is on Instagram—it’s where sports culture, sustainability, and vintage style come together in a beautiful way. Following @FanWagn on Instagram means: ?? First access to the latest drops of pre-loved fan apparel ?? Info about circular sports fashion that keeps gear in play ?? Behind the scenes with the FanWagn squad. We know you don’t live 24/7 on LinkedIn, so join us on Instagram, too!

FanWagn has existed for a year outwardly and even longer in my head, but we’re still closer to the starting line of the marathon we hope to run. And right now, we need your help! ?? Building in public is something I struggle with (I’m a better strategist than a content creator), yet at FanWagn, we believe Fandom is Better Shared. No one likes watching a game alone! In the Brand to Fan Approach, I teach that Fandom starts simply with an invitation. Invitations unite people, encouraging them to try, do, and share. When we share experiences, we create something even more remarkable. This is my invitation for you to join the FanWagn! ?? We need YOU as part of the FanWagn fam as we build a future where fandom is for everyone. Throughout February, we’ll share ways you can help support our startup via social media and email. While many actions might seem small, they can have a real impact together. Here's the first ask: Follow FANWAGN on LinkedIn and click the ?? bell icon on our page to ensure our posts appear in your feed. #FanWagn #SustainableFandom #SecondFanFashion #LoveForTheGame #SustainableFashion #FanCommunity

Happy holidays fam! We asked GPT to roast the FANWAGN squad by means of introduction and have no regrets. FANWAGN, The Bandwagon You Actually Want to Jump On! Lauren Teague, Founder, CEO, and the ultimate multitasker. Bootstrapped FanWagn from an idea to a movement and still found time to be named a *Woman of Inspiration* by WISE Portland. (Don’t let the title fool you—she still avoids making phone calls like they’re a full-court press.) Natalie Abele, Director of Operations. Recruited after one fateful lunch at *The Sports Bra* (yes, it’s real, and yes, it’s iconic). Natalie keeps FanWagn’s engine running so Lauren can be the face, the pitch, and the brand. A Canadian Duck fan who could out-run a marathon and out-think a Rubik’s cube, she’s the team’s anchor—and their cardio trainer, whether they like it or not. Monica Schrock, Director of Marketing and FanWagn’s branding guru. They’re the first person Lauren trusted with the brand—and it’s clear why. Monica spends Mondays hooping, Tuesdays icing, and the rest of the week making sure sustainability is more than just a buzzword. Non-binary, non-stop, and non-negotiably our glue. Ethan Silverstein, the Partnerships intern who somehow balanced running FanWagn’s college ambassador program with finishing his NYU MBA. Oh, and he PR’d at the NYC Marathon this fall, as if that wasn’t enough. If there’s a person more productive than Ethan, we haven’t met them. We’re just hoping he doesn’t leave us for Nike’s executive suite anytime soon. Mariah Gray, MBA, FanWagn’s content intern and unofficial style icon. Not only does she have the best sneaker collection on the left coast, but she’s also one of our top customers. She literally wears the brand, proving that great marketing starts with great taste (and maybe an enviable closet). Grace Hunter, Junior Developer and FanWagn’s saving grace in tech. If you can dream it, she can code it. Grace makes solving tech problems look easy—so easy, in fact, that we are running out of problems to throw at her. And don’t even get us started on her Notion wizardry. She’s basically a cheat code for startups. Michael Tobias, the pinch hitter every team dreams of. Mike, our WordPress whisperer, has never met a webhook he didn’t like. When FanWagn’s tech stack needs a grand slam, Mike delivers. Paired with Grace, these two are the digital dream team you don’t want to face. FanWagn’s Secret Sauce is the A team that’s equal parts passion, grit, and unrelenting style. From top-notch tech to enviable closets, we’re not just building a company; we’re building a movement. When you hop on the Wagn you’ll get the best fits, the best vibes, and support from a team that knows how to make secondhand fandom first-class.
