Time for relevant warm introductions...

Every week, we're spending time on making some warm introductions based on people's needs and interests in the Sports Tech R&I area.

This time, we're focusing on academics who consider bringing their findings to market at some point (themselves or together with an existing organization), but are still hesitating given the many unknowns...

If you -or somebody within your network- is connected to people having this type of ambition & you believe we could help them accelerate by making relevant introductions along with some strategic advice, let us know!
