Secures $1.1M in Oversubscribed Seed Round
Summary
Founded in 2016, TeamGenius is the largest provider of youth sports evaluation software, serving more than 500,000 athletes, coaches, and volunteers with its easy-to-use platform for managing tryouts, camps, and player feedback programs. After recognizing a new market opportunity that would accelerate growth and better serve its customers, cofounders Chris Knutson and Todd Larson began preparing to move on it. “When TeamGenius shared their vision of helping players act on the feedback they receive with at-home training tools, it aligned perfectly with the xHockeyDevelopment platform I’d been building. This partnership was a great opportunity to pursue that further.” With a proof of concept and strong initial traction post-acquisition, TeamGenius set out to raise a $1M seed round to accelerate hiring and the development of its new training platform. “I’ve been very impressed with TeamGenius and their ability to execute throughout the Covid pandemic,” said Rob Weber, Manager Partner, Great North Ventures.
