1. What is your elevator pitch?
We choose to use our start-up and forthcoming, augmented reality tennis app, Tennis Activity Tracker, to innovate the way people train and exercise, no matter the age or skill level! Whether you are a tennis enthusiast or not, we will make exercising fun, intense, and unpredictable with the app's illustrious, virtual features!2. Problem & Solution
The problems that we look to solve are: player inefficiencies, the inability to track/analyze practice results, and reducing the time that it takes to become a "solid" tennis player, so that we may also attract interest from those who are outside of the tennis industry!3. Market – your target market and the overall market
We are targeting the tennis industry (5th most popular sport in the world), which consists of approximately 17 million active participants in the US and is considered a multi-million dollar sport worldwide.4. Business Model – how do you make money?
We look to begin executing our business model, by working with coaches within certain demographics, providing them with augmented reality hardware, along with our app, and market within those metropolitan areas, in hopes to acquire clients, who are willing to give our app a try!5.
