BoomTV raises $10 million for its esports livestreaming platform

BoomTV has raised $10 million for its livestreaming platform for automating esports event production.

The Redwood City-based BoomTV has built a platform that enables organizers to create and manage their own events, particularly smaller community events. The company launched the BoomTV platform on the strength of the Code Red pro-amateur esports series. Boom.tv wants to make it easier to produce high-quality production of esports events and help the underserved community of civic groups, youth sports organizations, and school clubs share competitions with their audiences.
