Company Summary
Launched in October 2012 by star sports journalist Selena Roberts, Roopstigo produces on-demand films, animations, investigative stories and unscripted shows in the sports genre. We play in the intersection of 2 big trends - (1) a large blind spot of content that leading networks are prohibited from touching due to relationships with the sports leagues; and (2) the huge shift in consumption of content to mobile, on-the-go, on-demand content.
