It is financing time again for the fantasy sports site RotoHog! After the $1.8 million in seed and angel funding in 2006, and Series A funding of $7.8 million in 2007; the company has recently managed to raise $2 million in its Series B funding round led by DFJ Dragon and Mission Ventures.
Founded in 2006, the Inglewood, California-based RotoHog operates and develops online fantasy sports games for renowned clients, including LG Electronics, the NBA. com, Pro Football Weekly, Turner Digital, and GoDaddy. com.
Engaged in exploring the potential of drawing consumers on the web through branded contests and games - essentially with sports - the privately-held RotoHog, a Sports Composite DE product, is akin to social game developer VoxPop. tv, except in the sports arena.
In fact, RotoHog has set itself apart from its chief competitors - like Fantasy Sports Ventures, athletic stock markets ProTrade and OneSeason, and the larger league systems from Sportsline and ESPN - because of its slightly more extensive facility. RotoHog has indeed turned its web site into a hub for fantasy sports games related content, including real-world sports headlines, polls, blogs, game schedules, and message forums for users; along with a store for fans to purchase the team garb!
The company intends using the newly-raised funds for developing new products and technologies; expanding its partnerships with brand sponsors; and venturing further into international markets.
