Another great week of diving into #sportstech and #sportsbiz innovation.
Here is a brief summary of who and what you need to know...
?? Trevis Waters is the Founder & CEO of PlayerProps.ai and is crushing it in #betting and #iGaming. His background in the #DFS industry (and as a former game show host) is helping him steer his new platform to the forefront of responsible gaming.
He is mission-driven, focused, and ambitious.

?? Jose Daniel Martinez has an impressive list of experiences in #football (i.e. soccer, in the USA) as an #analyst with Atlanta United FC, Malm? FF, and FC Nordsjaelland. His interests lie in understanding why athletes make decisions when they do. Assessing and training #cognitive abilities of players is a very hot topic right now.
We need more people like Jose. He makes everything make sense.

?? Zoya Lehrer is the Co-Founder & CEO of Orgo, a family scheduling platform that eases #logistics of youth sports. Their shared calendar approach helps families focus on the "how" just as much as the "what." It's a simple approach to helping those who experience scheduling challenges.
She has a deep technical background, knows how to drive success, and speaks from experience of being a 3x sports mom. Perfect combo for this.

?? Markus Stevenson is the total package - a true business development leader and advisor. He is currently embedded with Kold Sports Group (formerly 100x Sports). They are rapidly scaling as an end-to-end athlete representation firm. They are backed by SparkLabs Group and have a number of legit heavy hitters on their advisory board.
Their client list already boasts a few athletes with $100M contracts.

?? Anna Kogan is the Founder & CEO of FitWise AI, which probably has some of the most advanced human movement recognition AI that I have ever seen. I'm not joking, either. Their technology transforms video into 3D digital twins, enabling human movement analysis, #performance optimization, and injury prevention.
Just wait until you see their AI representation of a live game.

?? Michael Dub is the Founder of Sweet Chameleon, a tech company taking sports collectibles to an entirely new level. They already have licensing agreements with the NBA, MLB, and PTPA.
Investors include a prominent pro sports team owner.

If you have a sports tech company that needs these skills, Kamini checks all of the boxes.
