Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.
Hello, my name is Dominic Morris I am the co-founder of HoopMaps a platform that allows users to find pickup basketball runs. The main service we offer is called Curated Runs a workout session of pickup games; these games are facilitated amongst 15 players (3 teams) with music and a fast-paced environment. Our facilitator ensures that everyone who participates will be able to get ample games within the 1-hour session frame. It's a richer experience than the normal pickup games we offer on our app.
We net $150 a day having 6 sessions a week through members booking sessions on our platform. We have these curated runs operating in Sacramento and the Bay Area with us opening curated runs in Los Angeles, Oklahoma City, and New York City.
