FloSports is an Austin-based direct-to-consumer sports streaming company that broadcasts underserved and niche sports - wrestling, cycling, track and field, motorsports, gymnastics, grappling, hockey and more - with the depth typically reserved for major professional leagues. Founded in 2006 by brothers Martin and Mark Floreani, the subscription platform streamed roughly 40,000 live events in 2024, reached more than 23 million viewers, and reported record revenue and sustained profitability ahead of its 2025 Series D round led by Dream Sports.
Mark Floreani is the CEO and co-founder of FloSports, the Austin-based streaming company he started in 2006 with his brother Martin and Madhu Venkatesan on roughly $10,000-$20,000 and a van. A former All-American runner at the University of Texas, he filmed the company's breakout moment - Ryan Hall's U.S. half-marathon record - from the back of a noisy pickup truck. FloSports now streams around 50,000 events a year across more than 25 sports that mainstream broadcasters overlook, built on the bet that passion, not audience size, defines a great sport. Floreani took over as CEO in 2018 and has pushed the company deeper into college sports, hockey, motorsports and, more recently, AI-powered production and dubbing.
Specialized Bicycle Components is a Morgan Hill, California maker of high-performance bicycles, components and gear founded in 1974 by Mike Sinyard.

Mike Sinyard founded Specialized Bicycle Components in 1974 after selling his VW van for $1,500 to bicycle around Europe. He brought back Cinelli parts in a duffel bag, ran the company from a trailer, and a few years later put the first mass-produced mountain bike, the Stumpjumper, on the floor of bike shops that initially called it a big kid's BMX. Today he is Founder, Chairman and self-titled Chief Rider Advocate at Specialized, headquartered in Morgan Hill, California.
