    About

    Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman launched Boardroom in 2019 as a media hub designed to bridge the gap between sports, business, and pop culture. The platform quickly carved out a distinct space by treating athletes not just as players but as entrepreneurs and cultural icons. Their approach focused on long-form storytelling that went beyond standard game highlights or quick news bites.

    Headquartered in New York City, the brand operates primarily through its digital ecosystem at boardroom.tv while maintaining a significant social media presence. Unlike traditional outlets that prioritize live scores or rapid updates, Boardroom leverages the personal networks of its founders to secure exclusive access to elite figures across various industries.

    The company differentiates itself by producing deep-dive interviews and narrative-driven content that respects the agency of the individuals they profile. Recent activities include an August 2026 feature on WNBA star Nneka Ogwumike's retirement decision, demonstrating the outlet's ability to publish major breaking stories involving top-tier athletes.
