Super Joe Montana/Ronnie Lott Back YouBeQB Launch

youbeqb.png
In development for the past 10 months, Bellevue, WA-based YouBeQB has just launched. The startup is backed by San Francisco 49er greats Ronnie Lott, Joe Montana, and Harris Barton via their VC fund fund HRJ Capital. Angel investors include former Seahawks President Bob Whitsitt, Neah Power CEO Paul Abramowitz and Vulcan Ventures' former Prez Bill Savoy.

YouBeQB is led by 26 year old jock Kris Billmaier, whose father is successful investor and startup exec Jim Billmaier. His concept is a variation on fantasy football, but it awards players points for correctly predicting which play a team will run. Certain conditions like 4th and long where a punt is very likely get less points.

Given how much Lott and Montana are idolized in the Bay Area, as word gets out of their interest in the deal, we would expect to see users sign up in droves.
