Excited to announce the launch of Mōtum a SportsTech venture studio we're starting with my TENNI co-founder Mark Pesahovich Through our work on TENNI we've connected with countless founders who are transforming the sports tech industry but often face challenges in bringing their ideas to life.

Our team brings decades of experience from startups and tech giants like Microsoft, Alibaba, IBM, and others. At Mōtum, we offer personalized attention and collaboration. As a small studio, we approach each task individually, providing our clients with the support they need. From design and strategy to IT architecture and AI, we've got you covered. Our idea is simple. You rent for up to 3 concurrent streams of tasks and use them to tackle any challenge in your product. You'll be working directly with experts for a personal approach. And like any subscription, cancel or adjust it anytime. If you've got a groundbreaking idea or a challenging problem to solve in sports tech, let's team up and make it happen!

What do you think is the biggest challenge when it comes to fundraising for an AR/VR startup? >> VC network? >> Pitch story? >> Underlying metrics? >> Hype cycle? >> Time and will? Fundraising for an AR/VR startup poses numerous obstacles that must be overcome. One of the primary challenges involves establishing a robust network of venture capitalists (VCs) who have an interest in investing in this particular industry. The VC network plays a vital role in connecting startups with potential investors and providing the essential funding required for growth and development. Crafting an engaging pitch story that effectively conveys the vision and potential of the AR/VR startup is also crucial. This pitch story should emphasize the unique value proposition and distinguish the startup from its competitors in the market. It should also highlight the market opportunity and revenue potential in order to attract investor interest. Another hurdle that AR/VR startups face during fundraising is the need to demonstrate underlying metrics. Investors want tangible evidence of progress and growth, such as user engagement, revenue, and market traction. Startups must have a clear understanding of their key metrics and be able to showcase their performance and potential for future success. Navigating the hype cycle can also be challenging when seeking funds for an AR/VR startup. Although AR/VR technology has the potential for significant impact, there is often an abundance of hype surrounding this industry. Investors may be cautious about investing in startups that are riding the wave of hype without a solid business model or sustainable growth strategy. Startups need to demonstrate a realistic and grounded approach to their business and address any concerns or misconceptions surrounding the technology. Lastly, fundraising for AR/VR startups requires time and determination. Building relationships with investors, refining the pitch, and securing funding all take time. Startups need to have the patience and resilience to navigate the lengthy and challenging fundraising process. Additionally, the founders and team members must possess the willpower and determination to overcome obstacles and drive the startup towards success. Fundraising for an AR/VR startup presents unique challenges, including being up to date with who's actually funding this stuff. Wishing you best of luck!! --- Don Stein P.s.

Excited to announce that, as of a few weeks ago, my co-founder Khalid Hamid and I have incorporated our startup company, 'PickUP,' in Canada. This marks the beginning of our journey into the software industry, zeroing in on the sports entertainment sector. PickUP’s mission is to cultivate a creative and user-led environment for recreational athletes and communities by integrating the physical aspects of recreation with the virtual capabilities of our small personal computers. PickUP’s crown jewel is an inceptive and underutilized concept called ‘Gamification.’ Our vision is to Bigbang a virtual microcosm emerging from the chaos of our users’ creativity. By mixing ambient computing and Gamification with technologies such as AI, AR, and more, we can incentivize recreational sports better and give us a chance to study what, in my opinion, is the toughest data from a market sector: leisure sports. 🚀 Stay tuned to our showcase page below, we're looking to expand our founders' team. 🥇 PickUP.xyz #gamification #automation #startup #sports #launch #canada #sportstech
