SportsVite Raises $2M for Recreational Athlete Social Network

We had reported recently that NYC-based SportsVite had raised its first round of financing. We now learn the startup has raised $2M from Grace Drive Management. The site claims 20K registered members who use the site to organize teams and league plan.

SportsVite was hatched by 212Media, which operates 3 other sites/business:
* Bodvod, a Bollywood music and movies VOD service available on Time Warner, Cox, Rogers and other digital cable households.
* New Play Media, a rich media casual gaming publisher that works with major media brands (TBA),
* Conscious Content / Stories for Heroes, a celebrity spoken work label with major children's properties (Arthur - Little, Brown & Co., Curious George - Houghton Mifflin & Co. and several others), celebrities such as Kevin Bacon and Kelly Ripa and charitable beneficiaries such as Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, National Education Association and others.
