The app Bvddy, which has been compared to a Tinder for sports and fitness fans, has just collected $1.5 million in Series A capital. Bvddy gives users the ability to connect people through sports and working out. Users can also communicate, schedule game times and locations to play along with creating teams or leagues in their area for different sports.

The company’s investors include IDC Group, LatAm investors, and Paypal exec Bobby Aitkenhead. Bvddy wants to use the money to expand to more cities and make it easier for users to find their next game. The expansion will also include launching Bvddy on Android, and in major cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Before this round of funding the company had raised about $700,000 from angel investors to test the concept and develop its technology.
