Why did we build iSportz?

The Sports Tech ecosystem is fragmented with legacy, point solutions catering to the requirements of discrete use cases and a few specific users. We, at iSportz, are committed to integrating the wider sports ecosystem via a Next-Generation Sports Management and Engagement Platform connecting billions across the globe, be it Athletes, Administrators and Coaches or Enthusiasts, Fans and Supporters.

We espouse “Tech for Good” aimed at driving positive disruption, improving well being, and reducing the barriers to entry for underserved communities. As Sports across the globe is geared towards Gen Z, Sports Tech has to keep up with a compelling user experience (UX), mobile access, advanced analytics, and data integration. We are driving positive disruption in Sports Tech via technological innovation and connectivity between different stakeholders that were so far operating in silos.

What’s the problem we are trying to solve?

The wider Sports Ecosystem is siloed and disorganized. Sports Tech solutions focus on discrete use cases, with B2B and B2C segments remaining as islands that are not yet connected. In a nutshell, we are connecting the B2B and B2C segments to drive new opportunities for engagement, monetization, productivity, and reach beyond traditional process, data, and technical silos.
We are developing an Integrated Sports Management & Engagement Platform catering to a wide range of use cases for various user personas. For the short term, key use cases include Club & Team Management, Member Management, Event Management, Learning Management, Community Engagement, Merchandize & eCommerce, Tryouts, and Fundraising. We cater to a range of stakeholders, including governing bodies, associations, clubs, teams, major & minor leagues, coaches, volunteers, athletes, and fans.
In Q3, 2023, we will be launching a new iSportz Social Platform to kickstart the proliferation of a LinkedIn-style platform for the wider sports community, including fans, supporters and enthusiasts. Owing to our integrated approach, we are best placed to exploit the $150bn Sports Management & Engagement market opportunity.

Who’s the team behind iSportz?

Great things are done by great teams, not by individuals. Leadership has built a passionate team headed by a CEO who believes in leading through actions, not words.

What’s our Unique Selling Point?

While we have numerous technical differentiators, we believe our vision and purpose of becoming the leading global connector of the sports ecosystem most significant USP.

Currently we are in the fair valuation for the value that we are going to create and the market
potentials of the competitors. Additionally, our committed investors are already invested in the above-
said valuation.

What else do we need from you?

We don’t want people who invest for “just for a quick multiple”. We want to partner with people who are ready to support the great global sports vision that directly impacts people’s lives and, as a byproduct, we all will benefit monetarily.
