Ami Sirkis, CEO of 365 Scores says with the new funding they plan to expand the platform and add features.
The app lets users follow their favorite teams, athletes, and sports on mobile and get live push notifications that update users about the important moments in a game, and serves news, scores, and photo and video updates. It also pulls in news and updates from local sports news outlets.
