History.
FloSports was founded in 2006 by Martin Floreani and Mark Floreani, collegiate athletes based in Austin, Texas. The website initially launched with free video content, but transitioned to a subscription model beginning in 2012. The company raised $21.2 million in Series B financing in 2016 led by DCM Ventures and Berlesmann Digital Media Investments. By 2019, the company had grown to 250 employees and raised a further $47 million in series C.
FloSports announced a partnership with WWNLive in 2016 to run a streaming service dedicated to wrestling. A year later, WNNLive filed a lawsuit against FloSports for breach of contract and pulled its events and content from the website.
FloSports became the local broadcaster for two Major League Soccer teams for the 2019 season: D.C. United and FC Cincinnati, an expansion team. D.C. united fans critisized the company for technical issues during early broadcasts. The organization pledged a full refund, offered the club's season ticket holders a discount on its annual subscription fees. D.C. United and Flosports ended their four-year contract prematurely in October 2019. D.C. United opted to stream its final regular season match on its website for free. FC Cincinnati cancelled its contract in June 2020 after listening to fan complaints about the streaming deal. In June 2020, FloSports purchased Speed Shift TV and acquired 400 races, with a focus on grassroots racing.
