About Sleeper

Learn more about Sleeper and their company culture.

View company profile

Sleeper's mission is to connect people over sports. We're building a digital playground for sports fans and their friends to hang out together.

We believe what truly makes sports so special in our lives is its ability to strengthen bonds between the people we care about. Some of our fondest memories include super bowl parties with friends, streaming the world cup with co-workers, and enjoying Christmas NBA games with family.

Our products enable you and your friends to enjoy sports together in a fun and social way, creating bonds that can span a lifetime.

Meet the teams

We believe in quality over quantity, and intentionally keep our team small as a result. In past roles, we found it very hard to make a big impact when companies grow too large in size, which has a detrimental effect on the product and the impact any single individual can have.

Our team includes designers, engineers, and product experts focused on one thing — connecting people over sports.

  • Customer Experience: We try our best to meet user needs when they need help. Sometimes they get angry anyways, but we live for the moments of delight we’re able to bring

  • Product Design: We draw increasingly detailed squiggly lines and boxes until we think they solve user-problems. Then we find out users want something else, and we have to start all over

  • Engineers: It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. We smash bugs and build new experiences day and night so everyone can play together on Sleeper.

  • Marketing: We run awesome AD campaigns to convince people that Sleeper is the best (even though it’s already obvious!)

  • Data & User Insights: We talk to users and look at a few too many graphs to help Sleeper decide what to build next

  • Business Developments: The business that invented shovels had a groundbreaking experience. Sleeper doing the same for fantasy, and we help by expanding the buisness and building partnerships

  • Finances: We keep the lights on and water running at Sleeper so our users can finally win their fantasy league this season

  • Operations: We’re like coffee – we amplify all employees at Sleeper by creating an environment that allows everyone to focus on the best work of their careers
