Get used to hearing the name Jomboy Media, because it's only going to get bigger.
The company, founded by Jimmy O'Brien and Jake Storiale, secured $5 million from Connect Ventures. The investment firm's backers include the WWE, former pitcher C.C. Sabathia and NBA great Dwayne Wade.
Jomboy has over 1.5 million YouTube subscribers and boasts a growing social media following. The company revealed earlier this year that a new office and studio in New York City was open. It also secured partnerships with both SeatGeek and YES.
The Sportico report indicates Jomboy will expand beyond just baseball coverage and into other North American sports thanks to this new round of funding.
