History[]
FloSports was founded in 2006 by Martin Floreani and Mark Floreani, collegiate athletes based in Austin, Texas. The website initially launched with free video content, but transitioned to a subscription model beginning in 2012.[1] The company raised $21.2 million in Series B financing in 2016.[2] By 2019, the company had grown to 250 employees and earned $47 million in venture capital and other financing.[3]
FloSports announced a partnership with WWNLive in 2016 to run a streaming service dedicated to wrestling. A year later, WNNLive filed a lawsuit against FloSports for breach of contract and pulled its events and content from the website.[4]
On July 1, 2020 the newly reformed Central Collegiate Hockey Association announced that it would stream all (84) conference games and over 150 games involving conference teams when it begins play wit the 2021-22 season.[5]
