FTN was selected to participate in the Techstars Sports Accelerator Powered by Indy program in Indianapolis in April 2022.

We never wanted to box our customers into a rigid system. Our exemplary year-over-year results are proof that our vision is filling a great need in the market,” said Kevin Adams, CEO of FTN Network. “The closing of our bridge round from the Techstars Accelerator is going to help us invest in areas of our business where we’re seeing strong engagement, create new strategic partnerships with providers, tech companies and sportsbooks, and expand our talent pool with new developers and advisors to continue scaling and building one of the most innovative sites in the industry.” In recent months, FTN has signed strategic partnerships with companies such as Sorare, Bettle and Prediction Strike, and rolled out two significant new tools which are gaining popularity with users and achieving significant traction in Google search results. First, its Same Game Parlay Tool on FTNBets.com takes APIs from the six largest US sportsbooks and compares a user's same game parlay line with FTN Data projections to create “True Odds.” This allows the user to stay away from bad payouts and shop for the best odds. Second is their Player Prop Tool, which shows the best player prop bets available using their FTN Data projections to calculate win%, edge and expected value while offering the best line on the market to place that bet. This allows users to leverage FTN Data to make the most educated player prop bets as possible. “As we look toward our next round of funding, our sights are focused on scaling our existing products and services, and integrating the NBA and PGA into FTN Data, all while expanding into the business-to-business (B2B) market with FTN Data. By investing in more charters (people watching games and collecting data in real time) we’ll have the ability to push our data to clients quicker, creating an opportunity for our users to make smarter and faster decisions,” said Stefano Vaccarino, FTN’s Chief Marketing Officer. “We at FTN are relentless in our approach to innovation and our goal of providing the most customizable data sets and products for each customer or corporation.” For more information on FTN’s products and services, please visit its network of sites: FTNFantasy.com, FTNDaily.com and FTNBets.com.

Fashion Snoops

Earlier forecast timelines, dedicated specialty areas, advanced color inspiration, smoothly integrated with AI-powered market tracking and design tools — empowers creators to map their path ahead with extraordinary clarity. FS (Fashion Snoops) announces the relaunch of its popular future forecasting platform. The new rendition streamlines the product creation process; makes it more intuitive, interactive, and creatively fulfilling.

Most importantly, they help curate those discoveries into cutting-edge creative strategies and concepts. All in a format that is easy to customize, share, or export into design software. "The problem for creators today is not a lack of information, but rather an overload of it. That's where we come in, ” explains Itay Arad, Co-founder and CEO at FS. "Instead of just offering more, we present our clients with incisive, inspiring content that is easy to find and ready to provoke action." As a company with a purpose to unleash human creativity, the FS forecasting platform offers creatives a way to find joy and inspiration in the product development process. Once again. Feeding their imagination and passion for creating products that aren't driven solely by data or recent fads but by genuine innovation. "We realized that the market is desperately looking for a way to rekindle inspiration,” says Lilly Berelovich, Co-founder and Chief Creator at FS. “We are seeing too many brands and retailers trading in curiosity for a false sense of certainty. Relying so heavily on data and past successes that creativity and innovation are quickly diminishing. It's a catch-22 situation.” Berelovich continues, “Everyone is trying to figure out what consumers want, while the consumers are simply looking to be surprised and excited by newness from the brands... from our commitment to unleashing human creativity, we aim to help the market break this exhausting cycle.” Here are the highlights of features and tools on the renewed FS futures platform: TRACK AREA: FS subscribers can keep their finger on the pulse of what's happening across retail, social media, runways, and trade shows. FS's unique sorting and filtering algorithms make identifying trends and discovering inspiration for their future assortments fun and easy.

Creators in these areas now have a section that speaks their language and focuses on their unique needs. COLOR TOOLS: FS's powerful suite of color tools includes a dynamic palette builder, an AI-enhanced runway color tracker, and the ability to search the platform's images by color. Aided by these tools and FS's in-depth color reports, subscribers can create their own original color palettes or use the ones built by FS as a starting point. Individual color chips and entire palettes can now be easily exported and uploaded to design software like Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. PATTERN + GRAPHICS AREA: Inspiration across markets or an individual design category can be found while accessing FS's popular pattern and graphics reports in one convenient place. ASSET GALLERY: FS team's editorial content, which includes mood images, bespoke videos, original art, CADs, and color palettes, is easy to browse through, save, and share.

Top NFL running back prospect Bijan Robinson praised Atlanta Falcons fans and called them “wildly” underrated a day ahead of being drafted by the franchise with its No. 8 overall pick. Shortly after his name was announced on the NFL Draft stage, Robinson continued to back his comments when asked by The Game Day’s Adam Tabatchnick. “I said it: the best fanbase in the NFL,” Robinson said. “Now we’re here, playing for them.” WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.

"It's a young offense with so much great talent," Robinson told AtlantaFalcons.com. "We're going to try to build something special. Hopefully, we can stay together and play together for a long time." The full podcast episode, focused on NFL player comps, is available on YouTube, TheGameDay.com, and wherever podcasts are available. “We are thrilled to be at the NFL Draft, bringing our fans the fun and engaging NFL content they are craving,” said Tabatchnick, a producer, host, and development strategist at The Game Day. “We know that a Gen Z audience is looking for unique content that shows athletes and prospects loose and having fun, which they might not see on traditional TV broadcasts.” Tabatchnick, along with all of the Caps Off hosts, are available for interview and guest podcast appearances.
