Client story
The Premier Lacrosse League is a professional lacrosse league with the best players in the world. With real-time stats, updated brackets, and fan-favorite web content, PLL uses sophisticated IT infrastructure to keep lacrosse fans in the loop and in the game.
The challenge
Connecting fans with real-time stats
When NBC Sports Gold broadcasted the Premier Lacrosse League's Championship Series, PLL turned to us to build out their robust API. PLL tasked us with executing on their main goals for the 2020 Championship Series: educating fans and making its website more user-friendly.

"Our VentureDevs developer was extremely responsive and handled everything with flexibility. You don’t actually see that too often in the engineering world – rolling with the punches and things outside of our control. He did an amazing job learning new systems and the interactions with non-relational vs. relational databases."
– Brenden Coleman, Head of Product
