Company history[edit]
The company was started by Underdog Sports Leagues founder Shawn D. Madden and Underdog co-owners John Panzar and Jason Pollentier. The inception was to use Panzar and Pollentier's skills building database-driven websites, from experience running their own consulting company, Over The Turnstile, to solve problems Underdog Sports Leagues was having at the time managing its rapidly expanding game schedule.
In 2010 the company moved its offices from Seattle's Belltown neighborhood to the city's South Lake Union (sometimes "SLU"[1][2]) neighborhood, a district populated by other startups and several established Internet companies, including Amazon, Microsoft and Paul Allen's Vulcan Inc.
