Interesting. If you don't mind me asking; how did you make contact with the first few teams? Was the early exposure from sharing parts of the project through social platforms or directly reaching out to the teams?


I have existing contact with some people in a few of the organizations which has come following the game over the last few years on a personal level. I’ve travelled to some events, have conversations with some players but mostly coaches, analysts and production team members, and have been around the scene on a hardcore fan basis for a long time. Last season I created a fantasy league app and some advance stats collection. This season I didn’t feel like doing the fantasy app again because there were good enough options out there but got some requests for stats/rankings from some of the people I know. So I started that then pivoted it into a platform instead of creating a bunch of spreadsheets (even though I still end up doing that for them sometimes)
