The Good Game Platform Demo
The Clear2Join Passport & Platform Vision
The demand is here. Supply is the bottleneck.

The Kansas State High School Activities Association just signed a 5-year deal. Over 4,000 officials will use the platform and up to 100,000 children will carry TGG Passports within 24 months. This playbook has piqued the interest of a national partner with 36 affiliated associations.

Everyone does one thing.
TGG is the clearance layer that unifies all of them.

The youth sports tech market is consolidating fast, $5.7B in equity capital deployed in H1 2025, PE M&A up 100% YoY. Every competitor below addresses a single vertical. TGG's Clear2Join Passport is the only universal infrastructure connecting them.

Sawyer (Hi Sawyer)

$21.7M raised
Kids activities booking + management. "OpenTable for kids." Chan Zuckerberg Initiative backed. Acquired 2023.
Nearly identical thesis. Raised $6M Series A with less traction than TGG has now.

TeamSnap

$57.6M raised
Team management platform. 30M users. Rebuilt entire product as TeamSnap ONE (Nov 2025). Acquired by Waud Capital.
Trying to become the platform TGG already is. Rebuilt ground-up. Massive user base but subscription model, not clearance.

Rec.us

$17.2M raised
Recreation booking + management for Parks & Rec depts. Ex-Uber team. Kevin Durant, Joe Montana investors. $11M Series A (Sep 2025).
Same thesis, different market. $11M Series A for recreation booking. TGG targets institutional sports, not gov/rec depts.

FastBreak AI

$53.2M raised
AI scheduling for pro leagues (NBA, NHL, MLS) expanding to youth sports. $40M Series A (Nov 2025). Greycroft-led.
$40M Series A to enter youth. Building "Compete" platform for registration and ticketing. Scheduling-first; TGG is clearance-first.

Scorability

$51M+ raised
AI-driven college sports recruiting marketplace. $40M round (Sep 2025). Bluestone Equity-led.
Validates massive investor appetite for sports tech at scale. Recruiting marketplace; TGG is broader infrastructure.

Stack Sports

$252M raised
Registration, league mgmt, club ops. 50M users, 35 countries, $1B+ GMV. Genstar-backed. Merged with PlayMetrics (2025).
Roll-up strategy. TGG builds natively what Stack assembles through acquisition.

Zenoti

$1.5B valuation
Cloud software for beauty/wellness/fitness. Scheduling, payments, CRM, marketing. $331M raised.
Aspirational comp. Did for salons/spas what TGG is building for youth sports. Same model: vertical SaaS + embedded payments for fragmented services.
1
Every company on this list does ONE thing. TGG is the only company building a clearance layer that unifies all of them through a single Passport.
2
The sector is consolidating toward integrated platforms (Stack/PlayMetrics merger, LeagueApps acquisitions, TeamSnap ONE). TGG builds natively what others assemble through M&A.
3
Stage-appropriate comps support the valuation. Sawyer raised $6M Series A with less traction. US median Series A pre-money is $42.8M (Carta). Marketplace median is $52.5M.
4
Margin structure looks like vertical infrastructure, not a marketplace. 94% gross margin at scale, 52% EBITDA margin, expanding take rate 12%→22%, comparable to Zenoti and Toast.
5
Youth sports tech saw $5.7B in equity capital deployed in H1 2025, PE M&A up 100% YoY. Sportico: "the formal institutionalization of an asset class."
The round is moving quickly.

$3.8M SAFE at a $35M post-money cap with a 20% discount. Standard YC post-money SAFE. The round funds 21 months of runway through Series A close.

This round takes The Good Game through the full 2026 platform launch, NAIA channel expansion from 8 to 13 schools, and 12+ months of cohort data across the new KU and KSHSAA pipelines, the milestones that frame the Series A.

Total two-year OpEx is $6.5M, partially offset by $2.96M in net revenue across the same window ($0.5M in 2026 + $2.5M in 2027), which is why the actual cash burn is $3.35M, not $6.5M.

Allocation (2-Year OpEx, 2026–2027)
$6.5M total · $2.8M in 2026 · $3.7M in 2027
R&D / Engineering 39% · $2.5M
Clear2Join Passport build-out, AI rules engine, integrations with KU, KSHSAA, and NAIA. Q2 2026 is peak burn as the innovation team transition completes.
Sales 27% · $1.7M
Sales team scaling (the Q3 2026 driver), institutional pipeline activation, expansion of contracted partners from 12 to 20+ ahead of Series A.
G&A 18% · $1.2M
2025 audit completion with Saltmarsh Cleaveland & Gund, legal, finance, governance infrastructure required at Series A.
Marketing 16% · $1.0M
User acquisition layered on top of the B2B2C institutional channel, partnership activations, brand investment.
