Good morning and happy Wednesday. Today Arsenal legend Thierry Henry turns 46. I’m sure he’s been smiling all week with Arsenal’s 2-0 start to the season. I know I am.
3, 2, 1 Go.
3) Business Update. The summer sports season is wrapping up- leagues are ending, people are traveling, and sports facilities are emptier than usual. We’re taking advantage of the “slow season” by doubling down on sales calls to facilities and pitching an influx of players post Labor Day. My focus over the next few weeks is on improving the app and planning out new features to further engage our user base.
This weekend, the Conquer team (9 of us) will be in NYC. We’ll be doing dinner Friday night and BBQing in New Jersey on Saturday. It’s the first time many of us are meeting each other. Our last in-person get together was last October.
2) What I’m Reading About. Overtime raised $100M in Series D fundraising last week with top VC’s and big names like Drake, Jeff Bezos, and Kevin Durant on its cap sheet.
Sports and sports media companies continue to grow and are getting large valuations.
1) Conquer. I can’t remember a day where I accomplished everything on my daily to-do list. Things always seem to take longer than expected (especially with startups). It’s forced me to prioritize.
