About
DraftCrunch is building advanced data analysis and research tools, inspired by those of the financial technology industry, for daily fantasy sports (DFS) players. DFS is an exploding subset of the traditional fantasy sports game where contests are hosted and paid out daily. Dollars spent in DFS has grown from $14M in 2011 to $1B in 2014. It is estimated that those numbers will continue to grow by up to a 135% CAGR, surpassing the combined size of all sports books in Las Vegas, through 2020. Millions of people are spending not only lots of money in this market, but also lots of time. Eighty-five percent of DFS players share one of the following pains: 1) daily research is too time consuming, 2) current DFS news/research sources are too fragmented making analyzing data complex, and 3) lack of an edge. DraftCrunch creates tools to alleviate these pains.
