Describe your project or startup in a few words
Cerclesport is an app made for promotion of local sport leagues that lack the media coverage to promote their inner talents. It's done by recording updated game scores, provide standings, game and player stats and more. Every player deserves a spotlight
01.01 Describe your startup in more detail
In cerclesport.org we want to promote local leagues by displaying games details of even the smallest league in the country. After each game, we collect game details from the league, update our databases and generates more important datas like standings, stats like what is the best team offensively, defensively, who is the top scorer so far, which team has the best shooters and so on. With the combination of technology and passion for sport, even the most remote young talent can get noticed by the best teams or even international recruiters. We believe no one game is more important than the other. That's why we start deeper and want to create that chance for the smallest league to the biggest. Our next focus, is to be an Saas with the same logic so that, small leagues can use our service to promote their own talents regardless of where in the world they are located. We also provide live streaming and game analysis
01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?
Lack of exposure and history. For some people what happens in their community is the most important of all. The big tech on the other end only focuses on the big screen and those underprivileged will not have the same chance regardless of their dedication that's why we mainly target the deepest layer of leagues to help shine the unpromoted ones and at the same time recording history that is for them as important as champions league or the NBA for others.
01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your startup provides (at least 3).
Before our startup, teams didn't know how to prepare for the next game or the next competition since there was no data nor analysis to prepare them for the next big stage. Sometimes the leagues managers would make mistakes in calculations, and set a team to a spot it should not be on and that creates a lot of conflits and sometimes they will schedule games already played and sometimes they will mix up results hence creating errors and annoying players. Finally the fans. Fans didn't have a platform where to check information about their respective leagues, schedules, scores, standings,... And only way to that was being informed by mouth or on Facebook. Since using our platform, more fans have started showing up with better conversations and that has helped local leagues a lot especially in their revenue
01.04 Please describe who exactly your startup’s product/service is aimed at serving. Who are the targeted beneficiaries?
Being in the sport category, we are focused on the fans, the players, coaches, league managers, recruiters and everyone that would want to be informed about specific aspects of the game be it local, regional or national and maybe later international.
