About
Chance Studios is a Los Angeles-based startup building a “superapp” for trading card game (TCG) collectors, with an initial focus on Pokémon TCG 12. The platform combines the marketing and sale of physical Pokémon trading card products with a digital app where collectors can discover, trade, and engage with other collectors and communities around the cards 12. The company was co-founded by Jun Park (CEO), who has worked across frontier technology and TCG, and Arvin Dabiri, founder of GoatedPullz, a Pokémon TCG buying, selling, and vending brand established over the prior five years 2. Within two weeks of opening its public beta, Chance reported more than $100,000 in trading volume in a single day 12.
