Sleeper is looking to take on fantasy league apps from major players like ESPN and has amassed venture funding from Silicon Valley investors to take down them down.
The Bay Area startup is aiming to treat a fantasy football league more like a social platform than a loose jumble of league mechanics, distinguishing itself as a simple and free, ad-free option.
Sleeper has done limited press as it has been ramping up its Android and iOS apps over the past two seasons, but the team has been courting the interest of investors to scale the product, raising over $7 million from VCs to date.
