The Bleacher Report Story
Bleacher Report was founded by a group of lifelong friends who were not satisfied by local coverage of their favorite sports teams.
Bleacher Report Founders Bryan Goldberg, Zander Freund, Dave Finocchio, and Dave Nemetz.
Dave Finocchio, Zander Freund, Bryan Goldberg, and Dave Nemetz started Bleacher Report because they believed that everyday sports experts could provide great opinions and analysis...if only they were given the right platform. The team launched Bleacher Report as a place where talented writers could publish their analysis, and a large audience soon followed.
By September, 2007 the team had become so impressed by Bleacher Report's community of writers that they left their day jobs in order to dedicate themselves to the site full time. By February of the following year, Bleacher Report exited beta, and has since seen a rapid rise in both writer count and readership.
Today, Bleacher Report is the world's largest publisher of exclusively fan-generated sports reporting. Thousands of writers have decided to make the site their preferred platform for sharing opinions. With an audience of millions each month, it's easy to see why.
The company has also bridged new media with some of the largest and most respected leaders in the industry—such as Fox and CBS Sports—both of whom regularly publish content created by Bleacher Report's top writers.
As the company continues to grow, it remains loyal to the founding team's vision. It continues to stake its claim as being the finest place for sportswriters to share their opinions, and there is no better destination for die-hard fans to read up on their favorite teams.
