MaxPreps, a Sacramento, CA-based high school sports online information and media provider, has received about $7 million in venture financing. BEV Capital, DFJ Frontier, and lead investor Dolphin Equity Partners participated in the round.
Launched in 2003, MaxPreps.com publishes detailed high school sports information to a nationwide audience. The company aggregates its sports information from a network of thousands of high school coaches, professional photographers and freelance writers.
With this funding, the company will increase marketing and distribution, add new senior management and expand business development efforts. Last August, it got $2.25 million in funding from DFJ Frontier.
Also, MaxPreps announced that ESPN and MaxPreps will share high school football content on their respective sites.
