TeamSnap, a leading tool for organizing and communicating game schedules, practices, equipment and volunteers for team sports, announced a $10 million Series B financing led by Northgate Capital, with participation from new investors the Colorado Impact Fund and Crawley Ventures, and existing investors, including the Foundry Group.
The funding round comes after a period of staggering growth for TeamSnap, which nearly doubled its customer base over the past year, now boasting 9 million users in 196 countries. TeamSnap interacts with active users an average of 40 times per month, and its native mobile apps have been a particular hit. The iOS app has a 4.7 out of 5 rating in the App Store and is consistently ranked among the App Store’s Top 10 Free Sports Apps.
“We're already engaging our customers before, during and after the game, becoming not just a tool for coordination but also the most trusted resource for ongoing training, planning and sports-related purchasing,” said TeamSnap CEO Dave DuPont. “We’re thrilled at the confidence in TeamSnap displayed by the investment community and what it means for our future. We’re excited to build on our team management market dominance and deep customer engagement to become the unifying sports team platform and marketplace for sports-related products and services.”
The addition of these new investment partners will allow TeamSnap to bring more innovative sports management solutions to the market faster, solidifying the company’s position as the single must-have app parents and coaches turn to many times a day for every kind of sports team activity.
“TeamSnap fits directly in line with Northgate's mission of investing in and maximizing the potential of strong companies with high revenue potential,” said Charley Dean, Director of Northgate Capital. “TeamSnap pioneered the category of online team management by creating the most powerful private communication and organization system in the world for players, parents and coaches, and we’re excited to be part of the journey for where they go next.”
Boulder-based TeamSnap is also excited to have local Colorado Impact Fund join as an investor, showing the confidence the Colorado investment community has in TeamSnap.
“The Fund is committed to providing capital to entrepreneurs with compelling business models that drive meaningful returns and community impact,” said Jim Kelley, Managing Partner of the Colorado Impact Fund. “TeamSnap has become one of the most recognizable Colorado startups, and we’re excited to join them on their mission of making life easier for coaches and families. Participation in athletics and other extracurricular activities has been widely shown to create opportunity and healthier lives for our youth.”
