Sports startups in the United States closed 30 funding rounds over the last 24 months, 15 of them in the last 12 months, and raised $454M in disclosed capital. The median disclosed round is $4.2M, with the middle half of rounds falling between $563K and $20M. New York and Atlanta hold the deepest concentrations of these companies.

New York and Atlanta lead the geographic spread. Seed stage funding dominates, which means early stage risk is the norm.
