Descriptiontext

SBLive Sports, operating as Scorebook Live, Inc., is a Spokane, Washington–based software and media company that provides an end-to-end platform for high school sports scorekeeping, statistics, editorial coverage, photo galleries, recruiting information, and live event distribution. Founded in 2014 and operating with 11–50 employees, SBLive aggregates coverage across 30+ high school sports and powers the Sports Illustrated High School vertical on si.com under a white-label arrangement, functioning as the underlying technology and editorial engine for that property. The platform integrates with GoFan for ticketing and NFHS Network for live streaming, forming a multi-sided ecosystem connecting schools, athletes, coaches, fans, and broadcast/ticketing partners.

The company's revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed but appear to combine white-label technology fees from SI, advertising and sponsorship sold against the SI High School audience, and channel economics routed through GoFan (ticketing) and NFHS Network (streaming). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and there is no enterprise sales motion described; customer acquisition is effectively content- and distribution-led through the SI partnership rather than direct B2B school contracts. The company has raised approximately $6.8M in disclosed funding across five rounds (2014–2019), with Cowles Company as the recurring lead investor, and is led by founder/CEO Dan Beach and co-founder Noel Nash. The platform remains operationally active with current-season content, a nationwide network of professional photographers, and national rankings and athlete award franchises that anchor its editorial authority.
