Climbing the Rank(ing)s

When I started Sportgenic (formerly Active Athlete) two years ago, I had grandiose visions of success--like many other ambitious entrepreneurs. But frankly, I could not have predicted that, in such a short span, our company would evolve into one of the industry's major players.

Our press release today highlights the tremendous growth we've experienced the past 24 months. With more than 250 member Web sites and more than 20 million unique users, our network of online publishers is now listed by comScore as #7 in online sports media destinations, surpassing heavyweights such as ESPN.com and CBS Sports. (Click on the enclosed chart for comparative stats).

In my mind, there's no slowing us down. I want to thank every single Sportgenic employee for their "blood, sweat and tears" over the past several months, as well as our hundreds of business partners who work closely with us to create compelling, relevant content for sports enthusiasts of all types.

Robert, Congratulations on your success! It pleases me to see where you have landed considering where we started in the beginning. I like checking in every once in a while to see what's going on with you and the company because it reminds me of the good old days in the beginning. I always knew you would be a great success.

Hi Nikki,

Thanks for the note. It's hard to believe from where we started where we are today. We still have away to go but have been pretty lucky to work with great publishers and advertisers.

Congratulations on your nuptials. Good luck and keep in touch.
