Fantasy sports site Fanduel was formed in Edinburgh, and still has a base there. But its product, which offers games in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and college-level football and basketball, is aimed entirely at the US and Canadian market. The company's headquarters are now in New York.
Still, Fanduel is a Scottish success story. It grew by 300% in 2014 and its revenue increased from $14 million (£9.1 million) in 2013 to $57 million (£37.2 million) in 2014. The company has over one million paying users and is predicted to pay out $2 billion (£1.3 billion) in prizes this year.
The company raised a $275 million (£177 million) Series E round in July, and is now valued at over $1 billion (£654 million).
But things are getting a little difficult for the fantasy sports giant. Earlier this month, the FBI and US Justice Department started looking into the business models of Fanduel and rival Draftkings to establish whether daily fantasy sports betting violates federal gambling statutes. That investigation started a scandal over whether employees were using inside information to win on competitor sites.
Total amount raised: $363 million (£243 million)
