DubClub, a company creating a space where sports handicappers and fans can mingle and win together, has appointed a former DraftKings leader as its CEO. The one up to the task is Ed Silva, who spent ten years with the leading operator.
DraftKings Heavyweight Joins DubClub
Silva served DraftKings for roughly a decade, occupying positions, such as director of product operations, senior director of analytics, and vice president of product. This experience is precisely what made him suitable to lead DubClub into its next phase of growth.
According to DubClub, Silva’s expertise made him a perfect fit for the position. The company applauded his achievements during his time at DraftKings, as well as his experience in other roles at different companies, including his stint at Nerdy. His appointment will allow DubClub to accelerate its ambitious roadmap
Silva’s appointment comes shortly after DubClub closed a funding round from several of its existing investors. It is not the only leadership shift either, as Lewis Burik, one of the company’s founders, has now been named as president. Co-founder Andrew Daschbach, on the other hand, will retain his position as head of creator success.
Silva Looks Forward to Growing DubClub
Ed Silva commented on his appointment, praising the DubClub team for creating a genuinely trusted brand that supports both its creators and subscribers. After he considered the company’s potential, he decided that joining was a no-brainer.
We’ve mastered the creator marketplace; now, we’re focused on building the definitive consumer marketplace, where fans build lasting relationships with the creators they trust. By bringing winning cappers and subscribers closer together, we’ll help fans win more, and creators build bigger, more successful businesses.

The appointment comes at a critical moment for DubClub, which continues to generate momentum. The 2026 World Cup alone saw DubClub cappers connect with subscribers on more than 100,000 plays.
