Fantastic.

I’ve sold SaaS for three different companies.

B2B accounting, Procurement SaaS, and Senior living SaaS (niche, I know).

My only rule:

1. Have a good product.

Would you be willing to share more? That seems like a very ripe (can't think of a better word) place to be working in.

How long do you have?!

A friend of mine pitched me this idea of “onlyfans but for NIL” and I’ve been running with that idea.

It’s been an insanely tangled web but there’s some crazy stuff happening and I think it can be a big business.

:( one of the most iconic NBA players. Mutumbo will be remembered.

Building in the college NIL space.

F1TV and YouTube Live (esports).

YouTube for recap highlight.

Some random sites for soccer.

I mostly discuss with my partner.

I appreciate your insights.

Curious why attending in person or otherwise watching the game is not among the considerations.
adaisadais · a year ago
I think that’s the desired outcome but not the most common path.

I love music but I mainly Spotify - concerts are a once a quarter thing, right?

I have a very cheap TV package that includes something like a dozen, maybe two dozen sports channels. That's where I mostly watch soccer, but very rarely these days. I watch no other sport, and I pay for all of those channels because they come together in a bundle

I occasionally go on r/soccer purely for goal highlights

I used to use sofascore to keep track of games, but I don't anymore since I rarely sit down to watch matches. When I do want to find out when a particular match is, I will search on google

I do play premier league fantasy with a few buddies. We have our own league

Also, I don't think hn is the place to do research about people and their sports-watching habits, since most people here won't watch any sports regularly. A better place would be to go to some communities related to a certain sport and interact with the people there to find out how they do things; but also, if you're not into sports yourself and know a particular sport in and out and the culture associated with it, it's probably not the best idea to do a startup about this

I totally agree. This is a terrible place to research - but I also seek to get the “nerd” perspective bc I’m curious if they’ve hacked it to be better.

I did some research at a football game recently. If you’re bored / interested you can find it on YouTube under “charleswilliamss” or instagram under “gethalftime”

I used to (mid-2000s to 2020, basically) live on message boards and listen to sports radio every day; I basically lived and breathed college football. Nowadays it's pretty much just a curated list of sports writers I like on a sports-only twitter account followed by watching most of my teams' games + a handful of interesting games going on that day using YouTube TV. There's something about the pervasive, constant nature of content these days that seems to have taken a lot of the fun out of it for me.

It’s less of a mystery - I agree. Less fan fare.

I think that’s also with the news in general right now.
