History.
ClutchPoints was founded by Nish Patel in 2015. As a college sophomore in 2012, Patel first built a Facebook page called "NBA Memes" that focused on memes on the NBA. Patel then created various NBA team-specific social media pages. After building up an audience of close to 5 million, Patel began looking for help to grow the company. Patel eventually started Bruin Entrepreneurs, and through StartUp UCLA’s summer accelerator program, he was able to find investors interested in helping him start a company.
ClutchPoints’ website and app were created in 2015, with primary coverage on the NBA, NFL, and MLB. The app includes the same written content on the website as well as individual game streams with tweets, analysis, play-by-play, and highlights in one feed.
In March 2017, ClutchPoints raised $500,000 in seed money with Eytan Elbaz, Gil Elbaz, ActOne Ventures, and TenOneTen Ventures contributing.
In February 2020, ClutchPoints agreed to a podcasting content partnership with Blue Wire focused on two podcasts, "Battle for LA" and "Establish the Pass".
In July 2020, ClutchPoints released a web series on Kobe Bryant's 2010 NBA championship, "The Final Ring", which featured interviews from Los Angeles Lakers players such as Derek Fisher, Pau Gasol, and Metta Sandiford-Artest, among others.
