Overtime, an entertainment video platform targeted at young sports fans and amateur athletes, has scored a $23 million Series B from a stacked lineup of investors. The money will help Overtime expand production capabilities and broaden its geographic appeal.
The company recently announced the funding round, which included such big industry names as MSG Networks, NBA star Carmelo Anthony and Sapphire Sport, the new oversubscribed $115 million sports, entertainment, and media-focused fund from Sapphire Ventures.
The news came as Overtime revealed new data underscoring its growth. The company’s videos are now viewed more than 550 million times each month, up from just 112 million views in January 2018.
