Beyond The Game Network: Fueling the Growth of Sports, Media and Tech Start-Ups
Beyond The Game Network is a community of athletes and business executives who are passionate about sports, media, and technology. This unique network brings together individuals from different backgrounds to learn, grow, and collaborate with each other. By sharing their knowledge and expertise, they aim to fuel the growth of sports-related start-ups.
The company was founded by a group of former professional athletes who wanted to create a platform where they could continue to be involved in the sports industry after retiring from their respective careers. They realized that there was a need for a community that could provide support and resources for athletes looking to transition into business or entrepreneurship.
Beyond The Game Network offers various programs and services designed to help its members succeed in their post-athletic careers. These include mentorship programs, networking events, educational resources, access to funding opportunities for start-ups in the sports industry.
One of the key benefits of being part of Beyond The Game Network is access to its extensive network of contacts in the sports industry. Members have access to top executives at major sports organizations such as NBA teams or NFL franchises as well as leading venture capitalists investing in sport tech startups.
The company also provides valuable insights into emerging trends within the industry through its research reports on topics such as fan engagement or esports. Members can use this information when developing new products or services that cater specifically towards these trends.
Beyond The Game Network has been successful in helping many athletes transition into successful business ventures after retirement from professional athletics. For example, one member used his experience playing basketball overseas combined with his MBA degree from Harvard Business School to launch an app that connects basketball players with local pickup games around them.
Another member used her experience playing soccer at an elite level combined with her background in marketing communications agency work experience to launch her own digital marketing agency focused on helping brands connect with female soccer fans around the world.
Beyond The Game Network is committed to helping its members succeed in their post-athletic careers. By providing access to resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities, the company is fueling the growth of sports-related start-ups and contributing to the overall growth of the sports industry.
