FAQ
WHY NO COST? Youth sports is a pyramid, with capital at the top, platforms and service providers in the middle, and operators at the foundation. The operators are the engine that makes everything go. They also have much smaller budgets and are the most time-constrained, but possess the first-hand knowledge on what’s actually happening in the space. We’re here to ensure they have access to the same information as institutional investors.
AS AN OPERATOR CONTRIBUTOR, WILL I BE APPROACHED BY INVESTORS? Only if you want to be. Two-way communication with investors is opt-in. Investors can't cold-message you— introductions only happen when an operator opts in or initiates one.
WILL MY INDIVIDUAL DATA BE AVAILABLE TO INVESTORS OR OTHER MEMBERS? No. Only anonymized aggregates appear in benchmarks and reports. Identifying information is never shared without explicit opt-in.
