Hi Forem community!

The next stage of our internet is about togetherness. We're here to echo this need through sports.

Given the changing and social media chokehold on day-to-day activity, most notably amongst sports of all nature, the prosumer (consumers + producers) has entered as the new future of sports fan.

Opposite to the fan-blogger like Bill Simmons, as the producer of the product and actively digesting the same content as the consumer reading it (playing Draftkings, etc.) - the engagement with subscribers or new followers has proven more effective by a prosumer.

We want to build a platform for content creators to own their content, protect their brand and monetize their product. Rewriting the brand-consumer relationship by adding in producers.

VISION: Do to sports media what Netflix did to Hollwood.

What gets us excited about Forem?

Our founders are non-developers so building the MVP has been challenging. We planned on fundraising in order to build it. We built a prototype using dev.to as one of main sources of inspiration.

Little did we know the team at Forem would provide such a perfect opportunity to build!

We're looking to expand our community to those outside of the fantasy sports industry. If anybody would like to learn more about our company please don't hesitate to reach out!
