The team quickly expanded in February 2011 with the hiring of Keith Goldner as chief analyst. Goldner has worked in the sports analytics industry with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Philadelphia 76ers, and ESPN among others.[4] In late 2011, the company announced venture capital financing from RRE Ventures, New York University, and several other investors.[5] numberFire was acquired by FanDuel in August 2015. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.[6] MethodologyUnlike traditional media analysis, the company aims to use statistical modeling and data mining to help consumers and businesses make smarter decisions in the fantasy sports, handicapping, and digital media markets.[7] This is done through the generation of specific, proprietary formulas that analyze statistics in an unconventional, scientific manner.[8] The company has received notable press coverage for correctly picking the winner of Super Bowl XLV[9] and successfully outpredicting ESPN, Yahoo!, and CBS in the fantasy markets.[2] References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/10/09/numberfire-turning-fantasy-numbers-into-real-wins/ |title=NumberFire Turning Fantasy Numbers Into Real Wins |work=The Big Lead |date=9 October 2011 |accessdate=3 February 2012}} 2. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.betabeat.com/2012/01/04/numberfire-data-science-for-fantasy-sports-raises-650-k-seed-round-from-rre-david-tisch-eliot-durbin/ |title=Numberfire, Data Science for Fantasy Sports, Raises $650 K.
