Hey folks, our long time friends Mike Imburgio and John Muller are putting out an app. Kieran, Ben, and Harrison spoke to them on the pod here [link] if you want to hear some more of the why, and some of the fun things coming out on top of it. ASA wouldn’t have built many of the cool things we have over the years without these two gentlemen, and it’s pretty exciting to see what they’re building now. Mike is here to explain more below.

futi is a next-gen live score app built to bring pro-quality analytics to fans in a familiar format.

At the end of January, many members of our ASA Community headed down to Rice University in Houston to talk a whole lot of soccer analytics. ASA Slack was buzzing around so much we figured we’d convene the round table. If you want to hear a podcast version of the conversation around the conference, Ben, Kieran, and Harrison spoke to Arman Kafai about some of the cool stuff going on there.
