About Us
We’re a stealth-mode sports technology startup working on a next-generation athlete performance and data intelligence platform. Our mission: help coaches, athletic trainers, and athletes make smarter, faster decisions with cutting-edge software.
We’re assembling a select group of engineering minds to help bring our MVP to life. This is more than a student project — it’s a launchpad to a career in sports tech.
The Challenge
We’re looking for individuals or teams of 1–3 members who can build a secure, data-rich full-stack application with both mobile and web components.
Deliver an MVP within a 3-month sprint, and top contributors will be offered full-time roles (with salary + equity potential). There is a working prototype and visual concepts already in place, ideas just need to be refined.
