Brodie Rec. League has closed a seed round led by Lerer Hippeau in New York and Golden Ventures in Toronto.

“Our goal is to give everyday athletes around the world a professional basketball experience,” said founder Connor Renton. “We’re building a company that can deliver that same premium experience in any city - from the app and the brand to the content and operational infrastructure.”

”The NBA has 500 players. We’re building for the millions of athletes who still want to play, compete, and feel like the pros. If you stopped playing after high school or university, this league was built for you.”

25 locations. 35 cities. 600+ events a week. Over 100,000 athletes and fans. A billion social views and no paid marketing behind any of it.

“We’re building for the millions of athletes who still want to play, compete, and feel like the pros.”
