Chat Sports description: Chat Sports is the leading sports media company on mobile, providing sophisticated curation of sports content, intelligently personalized to each fan, delivered on an elegant interface. It's the only app with live play-by-play for multiple games on a single screen and the best way to share sports with friends.
Users choose teams and follow friends to get every relevant article from ESPN, Bleacher Report, local papers, and blogs. Live Hub, a smart scores ticker, delivers scores straight to the newsfeed, with drive summaries, upcoming games, and scoring leaders just one swipe away.
The Cauldron description: Founded in June of 2014 with the belief that there was untapped demand for a new, creative approach to national sportswriting, and we knew that we could create a strong, lasting connection with our readers by allowing them to directly contribute to our efforts. We're grateful that the market, thus far, has validated those beliefs. The Cauldron's readership has increased exponentially since then, and notable athletes like Stephen Curry, LeVeon Bell, DeAndre Jordan, Golden Tate, J.R. Smith and others have told incredible stories with us.
