Jeremy Levine keeps coming back to the draft
He sold two fantasy sports businesses, watched DRAFT lose its place inside a larger company, and gathered the team to try again. At Underdog, Jeremy Levine is still working on the same question: how much more fun could following sports become?
DRAFT made the draft the game. Then the game moved on.
A fantasy-sports upstart traded salary caps for the pleasure of picking players. Its sale promised a bigger stage; its closure showed who controls the curtain.
Sleeper
Sleeper is a social-first fantasy sports and gaming platform that lets friends draft, trade, chat, and compete across the NFL, NBA, soccer, esports and more, all inside one mobile app. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Sleeper grew to millions of active users with zero ad spend by treating fantasy sports as a place to hang out with friends rather than a transactional web tool. It has since expanded into daily fantasy 'Picks' and prediction markets.
