Wappingers Falls, NY (Friday, October 23rd, 2020) Follr, Inc., a sports and fan-based SaaS (Software as a Service) company, today announced record new user growth for the eleventh consecutive quarter.

Growth highlights included:

In addition, the company has added several new podcasts and video channels to existing sports communities continuing the goal of being a single source for the best online sports content.

Follr Co-Founder, Stephen Fells states: “This has been the best quarter of growth in our history which is very exciting. It means we are on track for three straight years of growth, quarter over quarter, and the fourth quarter is already looking to continue that trend.” He added “We have been able to leverage a significant change in fan consumption of sports media and all signs suggest this trend will continue.”
