Hey y'all! (as we say down here in Atlanta).
Of course I am from New York, yes a die hard Mets/Giants/Knicks/Rangers fan, and so saying "y'all" sounds funny to me too.
Well, many of you are here after a year with us on FSDashboard and you have changed over to a Screaming Sports account. Screaming Sports, our new site, which integrates FSDashboard into it, is meant to aggregate even more of what you do online into one web site. We hope it saves you time and helps you win more.
So who is Screaming Sports? Well, Shawn Haynie, my co-founder and CTO built the first version of FSDashboard three years ago as a way to help him manage all his fantasy teams from different sites. He got all the guys in his league using it and they loved it. So he approached me in October of 2005, as I had left the last company I founded, Marketworks, and was working on developing my next venture. Being a technologist (he was my lead architect at Marketworks), he didn't know how to build a company around his technology. That was cool, because I can't code to save my life, but know about start-ups!
We launched Version 2 of FSDashboard last year and had about 1,000 beta users during football season and it went very well. We then got funded by Mangrove Partners out of Luxembourg, the VC that backed Skype, and who I have known for a few years. They are great guys and we love having them as part of the team because they really do add value. Last month we launched our ScreamingSports beta and here we are!
We love feedback. Having a site issue? Email bugs@screamingsports.com. Think something about our site is confusing? Email feedback@screamingsports.com and tell us what you think needs work. Want to help us grow and dominate the fantasy universe? Email us at founders@screamingsports.com and learn about our special program where you can be part of our team doing the stuff you normally do.
So tell us how we can be a better fantasy sports site and what you need to make your fantasy football season better. Thanks for the support!
