Dropback

Big day at Dropback. We're thrilled to announce our partnership with PFF. This strategic partnership enables GMs and coaches, for the first time, to translate their athlete evaluations (via PFF’s powerful data & analytics) into roster valuations—using Dropback’s innovative front office tech. Just in time for the offseason. Let's go! ????

What a week. We started Dropback (YC W24) to bring to life the elite software that elite college teams deserve. And this week, I was so impressed with all the forward-thinking programs we had the opportunity to chat with. We’re just getting started. ????

ICYMI: Dropback was featured in D1.Ticker, the largest newsletter in college athletics ?? "Dropback... aims to disrupt college sports and give athletic departments a competitive edge in scouting, roster creation, and player valuation" Thanks for the shoutout, D1.ticker!

“[TrueNU] is excited to [partner with Dropback] to prepare for the next iteration of NIL.” - Jacob Schmidt, Executive Director of TrueNU We’re excited to announce the Official NIL Collective of Northwestern as a Dropback Founding Partner. Read more about the partnership in the comments!

ICYMI: Dropback was featured in Sports Illustrated ?? "Meet Dropback: the New GM Software Ready to Disrupt College Athletics" Thanks to Noah Henderson at Sports Illustrated for the opportunity to share more about Dropback (YC W24)'s vision & growing list of Power 4 partners.

??? Dropback (YC W24) is building the front office software for the future of college sports. In the new era of college athletics, teams must optimize rosters financially to remain competitive. Pro teams (NFL, NBA, MLB, etc.) have been doing this for years; they spend millions on in-house engineering departments and data gurus to construct rosters competitively within a budget. Now that college teams can compensate athletes, they’re evolving to think like the pros, too—yet today, they don’t have the tech to do it effectively. Enter Dropback. Major programs like Northwestern's TrueNU trust Dropback to value their athletes, manage team budgets, and build their most competitive roster. Congrats on the launch, Luke Bogus and Nick Siscoe! https://lnkd.in/gRxSwyib

Introducing Dropback: the first front office platform for college sports. After months in stealth, Dropback (YC W24) is launching with our first public partner, TrueNU—Northwestern’s official NIL Collective—with a Sports Illustrated feature!

On 10.7.24, college sports changed forever. The Revenue Sharing Era is coming. Teams must evolve to remain competitive. So should their software. Elite teams will demand elite solutions. So, on 10.15.24, college sports will again change forever—with Dropback. #NCAA #NIL #RevenueSharing
