It’s Overtime!

When we started Afore Capital just over a year ago, Overtime was one of our earliest investments. It was also our very first NYC-based portfolio company. Today, it gives us great pleasure to share Overtime’s Series A announcement, led by Andreessen Horowitz.

In the months since our initial investment Overtime has caught fire with high school sports enthusiasts and young people, broadly known as Generation Z, who demand greater control over their content. These fans use Overtime to create and remix sports media in unique and engaging ways. The content is then distributed everywhere digital natives live – — Instagram, YouTube, and even TV. Overtime combines a breakthrough product with a unique distribution strategy to challenge the status quo of traditional media platforms. Overtime breaks the mold when it comes to cost structure, content formats, and most notably in how it reengages an audience typically lost to incumbents.

As Pre-Seed investors we spend most of our time diving into the early product and postulating how the company can build a moat around itself. This moat is what separates a company from the competition. And what draws customers near is the castle — — a product that delivers an amazing user experience. In Overtime, not only did we find a moat and a castle, but we also found a knight, or rather two knights, in founders Dan Porter and Zack Weiner.

Dan, Zack and Overtime are just getting started. It is a company of this generation and we are so glad to be a part of their journey!
