The Beginning
The company was launched in
2004 in San Francisco, CA as Draft
Dynamix to address
an unmet market need for an advanced
draft assistance tool for fantasy
football that went beyond static and
outdated rankings provided by
magazines. The dynamic draft
analytics included in the original
desktop prototype caught the
attention of several leaders in the
fantasy sports industry and a
business was born.
After a few bucks of investment the
Draft Analyzer quickly grew from
concept to market leader in a
critical and rapidly growing niche
of fantasy sports.
In February 2008, the Company
launched PlayerSearch.com, announced
plans to create a web-based version
of the Draft Analyzer and officially
changed the company name to Advanced
Sports Media, LLC.
