Sports Stock Market PredictionStrike Taps MFG for Up to $6.6 Million in Media to Scale Fan Acquisition

New York City, NY, November 13, 2025 — PredictionStrike, the fantasy sports stock market where fans buy and sell virtual shares of professional athletes, today announced a strategic media partnership with mediaforgrowth (MFG) for up to $6.6 million in media credits. The program will be deployed in performance-tied tranches to scale brand awareness and customer acquisition across national TV, streaming, and digital.

MFG joins investors including Bullpen Capital (an early investor in DraftKings), MaC Venture Capital, Gaingels, and others. The media plan is supported by contributions from TelevisaUnivision and Atmosphere, expanding PredictionStrike’s reach across live sports and entertainment programming.

PredictionStrike’s Sparks product and pricing engine drive repeat engagement with disciplined unit economics,” said Diana Florescu, Founding Partner at MFG. “We’ll deploy a multi-channel plan—live sports, news, and entertainment—measured through brand-lift studies, and geo holdouts to accelerate adoption.

Founded in 2019 by Deven Hurt and Brad Chabra, PredictionStrike lets fans participate in athlete performance through a dynamic marketplace in which prices move based on on-field results versus projections and market demand. The company counts 275,000+ registered users and over $140 million in lifetime transaction volume.

“Fans want a deeper, more financial way to engage with sports,” said Deven Hurt, Co-founder & CEO of PredictionStrike. “MFG’s media investment gives us the footprint to reach fans at scale throughout the NFL and NBA seasons while holding our spend accountable to acquisition and retention KPIs.”

The initial flight will emphasize TV and Streaming, complemented by Digital Out of Home and social, with creative optimization and geo-testing across priority DMAs. PredictionStrike currently supports markets across the NFL, NBA, MLB, and UFC, and plans to add soccer ahead of major 2026 events.
