Opendorse

Post by iamjacobm »

Another cool sports related startup in Lincoln is growing.

Prince had just been drafted in the first round of the NFL draft, but he had a problem. He needed help pushing quality content to his rapidly growing social media audience and wanted to capitalize on his new status in one of the United States’ largest markets, New York City.

So, Opendorse was born. Opendorse is a social publishing platform that helps athletes access and share content from trusted partners – their teams, leagues, colleges, and brand partners – to their personal social channels. Since its inception in 2011, Opendorse has grown to currently help more than 4,700 athletes share content on social media platforms. The Lincoln-based company currently works with more than 150 partners at brands and sports properties including the PGA Tour, LPGA, WTA, NHL teams, and more than 30 college athletic departments.

The company continues to grow rapidly, expanding to over twenty-five employees in Lincoln, Nebraska. Two months ago, they moved into new office space that includes multiple homages to their birth and the sports industry. The office space is built to handle the addition of dozens of employees – with ten new jobs expected in 2019.

Looks like they started as a part of Hurrdat and spun off on their own 5 years ago.
