SX x GT Creatives x GT Sports Business Club present: Disrupting an Industry with Content, featuring Dan Porter, Founder & CEO of Overtime!
Overtime is changing the way teens play and watch sports and perhaps upending an entire industry. More recently, Overtime has launched leagues of its own for aspiring NBA and NFL players. Overtime Elite, which premiered last year, is a year-round basketball program for 16- to 20-year-olds. It’s based out of a 103,000-square-foot arena and training center that Overtime built at a converted warehouse in Atlanta.
In just six years, Overtime has attracted 65 million followers across more than 80 channels it runs on social platforms. And in August, Overtime announced it had raised another $100 million on top of the $140 million it already had. The company is now worth half a billion dollars, and investors include Amazon founder Jeff Bezos ’86, the owners of Formula One, Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant, and 6 percent of active NBA players.
