Co-Founder Ryed Badr has been playing fantasy football since the age of eight. Frustrated that he could never watch all his players live since multiple games aired simultaneously, he relied on programs like RedZone to fill the gaps. Still, it wasn’t enough. Redzone wouldn’t always show what he was interested in seeing. Years later, with a background in software engineering and alongside co-founders Michael Strobl, Vinay Krishnan, and Aman Shah, Ryed set out to solve that problem. Together they are creating MyZone Football, an app that lets users import their fantasy leagues (and eventually bet slips) into one central hub, using algorithms to predict which games a user wants to see and switching between them live, essentially acting as a personalized Redzone.
