The world's first chess-style tactical trainer for tennis. 50,000 players already in our orbit. 200 academies in our pipeline. We're building the layer above every other tennis app.
87 million people play tennis. They study Federer's footwork on YouTube. They argue Magnus Norman vs. Iván Ljubičić on Reddit. They know tactics matter more than strokes after 4.0.
And yet — when they pick up their phone, all that exists is a serve clock, a score app, or a stat tracker. Nothing that lets them play the tactical layer of the game.
A real court grid. Every square a tactical option. Chess-board precision.
Where you stand next matters. Live probability surfaces the math.
Every point ends in a one-line lesson. AI tutorial unlocks the patterns.
People who play tennis at least once a month worldwide. Every one of them a potential install.
Coaching businesses with paid programs. Every academy a $99–$499/mo license opportunity.
And not one player in that revenue is a tactics simulator. We're not entering a market — we're naming one.
Free game. Coach AI, drills, and tier unlocks behind the paywall.
Coach dashboard, white-label branding, per-seat student licenses.
Most pre-seed startups burn $50K finding their first 10 customers.
We don't need to. Adam already built the audience and the academy relationships across 8 years in the tennis market. The waitlist starts at 0 the day we post — and gets to its first 500 in a week, organically.
The probability + recovery + zone model takes 12+ months to replicate. A serve clock can be copied in a weekend. We can't.
Founder owns the distribution channel that every other tennis startup pays $5–$15 CAC to reach. We pay $0.
200 warm relationships in a fragmented market. The academy tier is a per-seat moat that compounds with each new coach onboarded.
Every game played teaches the model what tactics work for which player style. The product gets better while competitors are still launching.
Tennis consultant, audience-builder, and product designer. Sitting at the intersection of three things that don't usually coexist in one founder.
You almost never see this combination in one person:
