If Your Kid Plays Sports, You MUST Follow This Startup

How does it work?

  • Coaches or other team representatives keep score of games (baseball and softball for now, basketball coming soon) using the free GameChanger iPhone/iPod touch/iPad app. The scorekeeping functions are easy, intuitive, and touch-based, but surprisingly powerful.
  • The data gets sent to the GameChanger servers, which tabulates live scoring and statistical data, including box and line scores.
  • Coaches and players get a robust stats package for their team (no more Excel spreadsheets or hand-tabulated box scores).
  • Superfans and parents can buy premium access to expanded scoring data, real-time SMS and email alerts, etc.
  • Media companies can partner with Fungo Media, embedding GameChanger scoring widgets for local teams onto their sites. Fungo does a revenue-share for media partners that help sign up premium subscribers.
