Backed by Gary Vaynerchuk, Silver Falcon Capital and John Low, The 33rd Team’s Series B funding accelerates its evolution into a football analytics powerhouse.
After calling it a career within team facilities, former New York Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum still wanted to be involved in the game. Tannenbaum joined ESPN as a front office insider in 2019 after serving as the Miami Dolphins' executive vice president of football operations.
That same year, he founded The 33rd Team, which brings in-depth analysis, expert insights and reaction to the latest news from around the league.

The 33rd Team announced Tuesday a Series B funding round with notable investors including Gary Vaynerchuk, Silver Falcon Capital and John Low. "To have iconic names and people like Gary Vee, it's the ultimate form of validation, and we're incredibly appreciative of them and all our investors who are backing us," Tannenbaum said in a recent interview with FOX Business. "It's great to have their trust and confidence and everybody in the organization works hard to validate their trust."

We're excited about what we're building, and we're very encouraged by the early adoption that some teams have already used our product and bought it."
