Snapp announced $4.6 million in funding on November 9 for a sports AI business serving fans and coaching staffs, with a16z Speedrun, Dorm Room Fund and Gold House Ventures among its backers.

The disclosure follows CEO Shawn Tsao’s earlier LinkedIn announcement of $4.4 million in total funding. The new release does not say whether that sum is included in the $4.6 million, leaving the amount of additional capital unclear.

Snapp says its consumer apps have more than 20,000 users. Fans can connect fantasy leagues on ESPN, Yahoo or Sleeper and ask for analysis that incorporates their existing rosters, alongside sports statistics and injury news.

The consumer business offers free access and paid subscriptions, with higher plans providing more messages and deeper research. Its website also advertises sending trades to connected prediction-market accounts, while stating that Snapp does not hold users’ money.

For coaching staffs, Snapp Stats brings team material into the analysis, including scouting data and film notes. The company describes a tool that uses timestamped observations from film sessions in later answers and can fill scouting reports in a staff’s preferred format.
