1. What is your elevator pitch?
TeamSynced is a team communication platform built specifically for athletic organizations. The entire team of an athletic organization consists of athletes, coaches and support staff. It’s imperative these three groups operate in a fluid symbiosis and TeamSynced’s platform allows them to do just that.
2. Problem & Solution
People are busy. People are mobile. The current channels of communication in most athletic organizations are disparate systems like email, paper calendars, random group text conversations, cloud based drive applications or clunky software. These disparate systems take an incredible amount of time to manage and are extremely inefficient for all parties involved.
TeamSynced enables all levels of an athletic organization to eliminate wasted time, get answers quickly and engage with others in a way they consider to be easy, secure and pleasant. When this happens, they improve their lives, their teams and their organization.
3. Market – your target market and the overall market
Target Market – College and professional athletic organizations across all sports.
