Thuuz is a real-time sports discovery app with iPhone, Android and Google TV apps that notifies users when games become exciting. The product uses algorithms, social signals and user preferences to score every game from 0–100 based on momentum, context and score closeness. It offers a feed with original sports news content and notifications where users can follow friends and experts, and it can integrate fantasy teams across platforms like ESPN and Yahoo. Thuuz has distribution deals with service and content providers including Dish Network (available on set-top boxes) and partnerships with AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile to drive mobile streams. The company relaunched around the 2010 World Cup with an early deal to send users to ESPN3, and reports 5–10% of its user base shifts content based on momentum swings in games. Financially, Thuuz is pursuing a modest Series A while aiming for reasonable valuations to return investor capital.
