Founded in 2017 by Brian Verne and Ishaan Sutaria, Wave Sports + Entertainment owns and operates more than 100 social media channels that span every sport from basketball to cricket. Its flagship Instagram accounts—including WAVE.TV, Greatest Highlights, No Huddle, Best Goals, and Break Ankles Daily—each attract more than one million followers. Collectively, the company reaches 24 million followers, generates 725 million monthly content views, and drives 50 million monthly engagements. Content is produced through a decentralized newsroom model that allows dedicated sports fans to create and curate material tailored to their communities. The company focuses on delivering short-form, high-impact sports content on the platforms where fans already spend their time. Proceeds from its recent funding will be used to expand the network’s reach and invest in new original content initiatives.
