Founded in 2007 by four sports fans (David Finocchio, Alexander Freund, Bryan Goldberg, and Dave Nemetz) who'd been friends since high school, Bleacher Report was acquired by Turner for $175 million in 2012. The company has continued to see steady growth, refracting sports and sports culture to a predominantly millennial audience through its website and social channels. Finocchio has remained with the company as CEO.
