What We Do

Sleeper's mission is to connect people over sports. We're building a digital playground for sports fans and their friends to hang out together.

We believe what truly makes sports so special in our lives is its ability to strengthen bonds between the people we care about. Some of our fondest memories include super bowl parties with friends, streaming the world cup with co-workers, and enjoying Christmas NBA games with family.
