Takkle Takes Sports Illustrated Cash
More money for social networks: college sports network Takkle will announce today that it has received additional financing from Sports Illustrated and the New York City Investment Fund. The amount isn’t being disclosed. The company’s original investment came from WMG Investments, Greycroft Partners, IJ Smith Enterprises LLC, and Jack Schneider.
It’s a sign of even closer ties between SI and Takkle: the paid have been cross promoting since at least December 2006. Sports Illustrated also bought sports social network FanNation earlier this year, and it seems probably that the Takkle investment will go the same way.
