Fantasy Buzzer is a New York-based startup offering a one-stop fantasy football research platform that aggregates news and tweets, hosts Quora-like forums, and provides detailed player profiles. Its core product uses decision-making algorithms to send texts and push notifications with real-time injury alerts and tailored recommendations before game time. Recommendations extend beyond simple substitutions to guidance on coaching opposing players for trade leverage and ranked poach lists. The site also offers premium upgrades for $30 per season, which grant priority alerts and boosted visibility for users' questions. Fantasy Buzzer raised $385,000 in a two-part seed round led by Payfone’s Mike Brody and the team indicated it will most likely raise again. The company is targeting a large market—2011 figures cited at roughly 27 million players spending about $800 million in digital goods and fantasy representing 75% of NFL.com traffic—and competes with entrants such as NumberFire.
