THE SPORTS FANS MARKETPLACE

"We were bombarded with people who told us that to be on 24 hours a day, a single-niche network of sports couldn’t

sustain itself. It simply wouldn’t happen."

— Bill Rasmussen, Founder of ESPN, 1979

NICHE WORKS IN SPORTS.

What other category do you have bars, magazines, clothing makers, retailers, equipment manufacturers, TV channels and now blogging

platforms devoted entirely to one audience?

But, NO online marketplace for the sports fan?

While niche marketplaces are upending every other industry:▸ Uber for transportation▸ AirBnb for travelers▸ Etsy for crafters▸ Reverb for musicians

▸ CoachUp for sports coaching▸ GrandStreet for hardware▸ DogVacay for dog sitting

Think about that.NO marketplace exists for the $17 billion/year

sports merchandise market!

OPPORTUNITYJust as ESPN transformed sports media,

an online platform can do the same for SPORTS COMMERCE.

The marketplace for conversations, connections and commerce around interesting sports products

What We Do1. Allow selling of secondary team/player items

2. Enable sports creators to produce new, cool products3. Power a community to discuss goods/memories

“I LOVE this idea!! And I couldn't agree more on Rally being a great fit for my sports artwork. I took a look around

and like what I see."— Pierick Smith, longtime Ebay sports seller
