Our mission is to quantify the sports fans' opinions wherever the conversation is happening — whether that's on a local sports blog, around a tv screen, or in a slack channel. Our conversational props are sourced from the discussions happening across the digital universe (Twitter, news media, subreddit channels, fan message boards, etc.) brought to life using our technology, and distributed via our API. Fans earn points whenever their pick is correct - points get redeemed for prizes in our marketplace from top brands they love.
