Press Sports is a sports social media app and community that lets athletes capture and share short‑form sports videos while building their sports networks. The app was built by former college athletes seeking a positive alternative to mainstream social networks. It serves primarily middle school, high school and college athletes across more than 50 sports, with 90% of users being Gen‑Z athletes. Press Sports recently launched a new app and pushed platform updates across mobile and web. Following the NIL rule change, the company struck equity‑based NIL deals with three longtime community athletes who will advise on product and growth in exchange for equity. The company closed a strategic pre‑Series A funding from sports and media partners and plans to implement key partnerships into the product. Press Sports is an Atlanta-based sports social media app that connects athletes, coaches, teams and fans to build and grow athletic brands. The platform enables users around the world to find and share sports highlights and to connect with a larger sports community. It was co-founded by Conrad Cornell and Drew Williams. The company added Tyler Droll and Tom Chernetsky to lead Product and Technology and recently hired Branndon Stewart as COO. Press Sports closed $1.5M in seed funding and plans to use the funds to expand its reach and continue development efforts. The app targets sports fanatics across all sports and emphasizes user-generated highlights and brand growth.
