DraftKings sets coast-to-coast presence with new San Francisco office

DraftKings announced the official opening of its new San Francisco office, furthering the company’s West Coast presence alongside its most recent opening in Las Vegas.

Boasting 4,750 square-feet, the new space marks DraftKings’ third office opening since unveiling its Boston headquarters nearly one year ago. DraftKings has opened state-of-the-art offices in Hoboken, New Jersey, and Las Vegas, Nevada, in the last 10 months.  

“Among the iconic sports teams and landmarks, San Francisco is an ideal combination of design, culture and technology,” said Matt Kalish, Co-Founder and President, DraftKings North America. “Our committed, in-house marketing team could not be more excited to channel the spirit of the Bay Area in establishing DraftKings as an influential fixture of the West Coast as we continue to provide sports fans with the ultimate in creative sports-entertainment content.”

Occupying the entire fourth floor on Sutter Street in downtown San Francisco, the brand-new office is decked out in DraftKings’ branding and floor-to-ceiling murals of some of the region’s most iconic views and athletes, including the Golden Gate Bridge and Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry. Made possible through DraftKings’ introductory collaboration with Knotel, a flexible workspace platform, the new space will house top talent with experience and expertise in the tech industry, as well as DraftKings’ marketing personnel.

Since October 2018, DraftKings has experienced large internal growth. The company has seen a 40% increase in its company headcount and recently announced a 20,000-square-foot expansion of its Boston global headquarters and has taken additional space in the city to accommodate their rapidly growing Boston-based team. DraftKings continues to meet user demand through employee-base expansion as new states join the legal sports betting community.
