We are reshaping the way fans and
notables connect

Notable Live promotes two-way communication that is positive and mutually beneficial for fans and notables.

“If you’ve ever wanted to go backstage, get on the field or really get to know what’s on a notable’s mind, this platform was built to do just that. We created Notable Live to provide true access to notables in ways never done before.”

Mike Antonucci, Co-Founder & CEO

A Message from Mike

Making online interactions safer

Notable Live is a platform built on positivity, that guides us to find and use our voice for good. Our platform does not tolerate trolling or bullying.

Making connections that matter

Our platform isn’t about a like or a follow, it’s about creating experiences, making memories and being a part of LIVE! conversations – conversations that connect fans and notables in ways never done before.

We’re having fun

This platform is a dream come true for our founders, and it’s been a lot of fun to build. We’re even more excited about the fun our users will have, and the dreams that will be fulfilled for all of the fans out there!

Our Founder's Story

Our founder’s story

Growing up a fan of many different celebrities, there was always this feeling that I could never interact with, connect with or meet the talented people who inspired me.

As a young athlete, I had a favorite baseball player. Rickey Henderson was my idol, and I never had the chance to say, “Thank you; thank you for the inspiration.” When I grew up, I started looking around to see what opportunities were out there, but what I found were networks or companies that could introduce you to a notable, but the interactions were lacking intimacy. That’s when it struck me, that we could do it better.

Notable Live was founded in 2018, when this fan and a couple of notables sat down to try and solve this problem – how could we break down the barriers that prevent fans from truly connecting with their favorite notables? The result was a platform designed to give fans and notables the opportunity to connect on their own terms, to have one-on-one conversations and really get to know one another. A place for two-way engagement between fans and notables that is positive and inspiring. An online destination for safe conversations – void of internet trolls and cyber bullies – where we can be reminded that we are more alike than not, and celebrate our common interests.

As our team grew, so did our stories of “missed opportunities,” “never had the chances,” “wish I could haves,” and fleeting memories that left each of us wanting more; wondering what it would have been like to be face-to-face with that notable who inspired us. Together, we share a passion for helping make these “that just happened” moments a reality for inspired fans and communities, and possibly changing the course of someone’s life who is feeling lost or uninspired.

If there is one thing I have learned from our Co-Founders, Pat and Emmitt Smith, it is that notables are just like us, and sometimes they’re looking for support too. And sometimes they just want to say, “Thank you,” to the fans and communities who have supported them throughout (and even after) their professional careers!

I am so proud of the result of our collective efforts. Notable Live is a mobile application that is accessible to anyone, at any time. As we continue to build out our roster, I am confident we will have a network of talent who will appeal to everyone of all ages and interests.

We look forward to seeing you “in the room”!
