The Story
A new arrival…
Limited friends…
Bored…
Lonely…
But an avid sports person…
Who just wants to stop hitting tennis balls
against the stupid wall…
He needs to find a partner!
Thus this application…
Mission Statement / Value Proposition
- An active society
- Healthy lifestyle
- Exchange of skills/knowledge
- Take kids off the streets
“To bring urban communities
together through sports”
How Does It Work?
This application allows individuals to find nearby sports
partners with similar interests
Our algorithm uses the following criteria:
- Sports Interests (e.g. Football, Badminton)
- Geo-Location (e.g. Bishan)
- Date/Time
- Proficiency Level (e.g. Beginner, Expert)
DEMO
Research
• Existing localized websites (non-mobile) e.g. buddyup.com, sportspartners.com.au, etc.
• Sport-Specific (iPhone) apps like Tennis Buddies
So we KNOW that there is a market!
Multiple Sports
Single Sport
Local Global
PlayFinder’s Proposition
• Multiple sports
• Can be scaled up to include other activities/events
• Multi-platform accessibility
• “Think Global, Act Local”
We’re crowd-sourcing interests and venues!
Next Steps
What needs to happen to make this project a reality?
- Continued development with focus on user experience
Any partnerships or more data needed?
- Support from community leaders, sports clubs
and associations
- Events to kick-start this platform
