January 18, 2021 Quit that day job!

After months of side-hustling, I am officially full-time on the startup! My co-founder will be full-time next week. I feel excited and terrified (in a good way). For the first time in my adult life, I will be working full-time on my passion - never thought I'd be here when the idea first emerged in my head in mid-2019.

September 2, 2020 Shipped v1.2

This was a major release for us. Shipped a new admin-mode, improved app nav, support for baseball/softball, personalized stats, and bug-fixes. 95% of the backlog = inspired from user feedback. Phew!

What we learned. It was extremely difficult to source high-quality feedback from our users. Despite 1:1 outreach, events, we just weren't getting much. Then we began asking users for feedback in our app itself in a frictionless way (using our chat feature). From there, we seemed to get some feedback, but again not adequate. We're experimenting with different feedback sourcing mechanisms.

June 15, 2020 Launched v1 of platform!

After 8 grueling months of product development including a 6 week beta with 50 testers, we launch today! Wildkard is now available on the Apple AppStore and Google Play Store for sports teams to download and use. Over the next 3 months, we look forward to learning from our early sports teams, and improving the product.

But, for today .. we sit back, feet up, with a nice beverage. :)

About

I grew up as an athlete and self-taught programmer. I believe sports unites beyond boundaries & enables humans to build community, learn key life skills, and ultimately reach their potential.
