Market Opportunity
The addressable market for our platform is expansive, fast-growing and under-penetrated — presenting a significant opportunity for a well-positioned sports-tech venture like ours.
- The global sports-technology market was estimated at USD 19 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach approximately USD 61 billion by 2030, representing a CAGR of ~21.9%. Grand View Research
- Meanwhile, the global sports sponsorship market was valued at around $45 billion+ in 2024, and is forecast to grow to $100 billion+ by 2032, with a CAGR in the region of 6-10%. Verified Market Research
- At the grassroots and amateur club level — the segment we directly serve — the combination of live data, fan engagement and digital revenue enables enormous upside. We estimate the grassroots market to be approx. $4 billion. With the broader sports-tech and sponsorship markets expanding rapidly, it sets a robust tailwind for our platform.
- For a platform like ours – focusing on live-scoring, fan-engagement, and monetisation for amateur clubs and leagues – this means we’re entering not only a high-growth vertical, but one with deep unmet need, digital transformation potential, and a meaningful slow-moving incumbent structure ready for disruption.
In short: we are well-positioned at the intersection of booming sports-tech growth and escalating sponsorship/digital monetisation demand — with a product aligned to the underserved grassroots sports space.
Our Solution – Simplify, Engage, Monetise
Anyscor offers a unique and unified platform that brings together:
- Live Scoring & Match Data Capture – Club members update match data live via our Scoring App; scores, scorers and match events sync instantly to Anyscor Fan App.
- Fan Engagement Tools – Via our Fan App, supporters view live scores, receive push-notifications, follow & share match & clubs, view fixtures and results; we have delivered ~300,000+ fan app sessions.
- Digital Revenue for Clubs – Each club gets its own page and can deploy sponsor banner inventory; this converts digital reach into recurring income (example: 4 sponsors × €2,500 = €10,000 per year).
This integrated stack means clubs gain operational simplicity, fans gain connectivity, and investors gain a scalable revenue-engine.
Traction & Validation
We have built strong early-market traction and external validation that underline our readiness for growth:
- 100+ clubs onboarded across the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales — demonstrating geographic spread and cross-border demand.
- 13,500+ monthly users, spanning multiple geographies (Ireland, UK, USA, Canada, Australia) — showing global reach and product-market fit.
- 1,360+ games scored live on our platform — meaning our live-scoring module is proven in real-world use and is operational across multiple clubs.
- Featured in national media, most recently The Business Post, The Irish Times and The Times reinforcing our public, press-visible status.
- Supported by leading innovation programmes: Enterprise Ireland, the Fingal Local Enterprise Office and the New Frontiers programme — strengthening our execution capability and lowering investor risk.
- Award-winning and recognised:
- Listed among the Business Post & Enterprise Ireland Hot 100 Start-Ups 2025.
- Winner of the Fingal Chamber “Innovation in Business Award” sponsored by Skillnet Ireland at the 2025 Fingal Business Awards.
- These credentials significantly reduce execution risk and boost our credibility as an investor-ready business — we’re not just building a platform; we’re building one that is validated, recognised, and in market.
Our business model is built for scalability and multi-stream monetisation:
- B2B Subscription (SaaS): Clubs, schools and leagues subscribe to our platform (dashboards, apps, admin tools) via free and tiered monthly or annual plans.
- B2C Freemium + Premium: Fans access a free “basic” version of our Fan App (live-scores, club follows, notifications); upgrade to premium for deeper features (AI powered analytics, exclusive content).
- Advertising & Sponsorship Revenue Share: Clubs control digital inventory (banner space, sponsor placements in apps/pages); we facilitate monetisation and share revenue.
- Upsell / Cross-sell Opportunities: After basic adoption, we offer premium modules (advanced analytics, multi-sport verticals, extended features) to both clubs and individual users.
- Low Incremental Cost, High Margin at Scale: Being digital/SaaS-based, incremental cost per new club or user is minimal — margins therefore improve significantly as we grow.
Market & Growth Strategy
Our growth strategy is built on four key pillars—enhanced by strategic partnerships and a focus on premium tiers—to ensure we not only increase club count, but deepen user engagement and boost revenue per club.
Business Model
- Geographic Expansion
We initially target Ireland and the UK, then extend to English-language markets such as the USA, Canada and Australia. This phased approach leverages cultural affinity and language commonality before moving into more complex regions. - Vertical Expansion
Although our roots lie in rugby, we are rapidly branching into all amateur and school sports— hockey, football, GAA — and targeting broader segments of the amateur club ecosystem. This broadening unlocks significant incremental market size. - Product Depth & Premium Tiers
We are developing deeper product capabilities including AI driven solutions for fans, enhanced fan-engagement modules, sport specific coaching aids and upsell paths for clubs. In parallel, we will introduce premium tier offerings for clubs and fans—unlocking higher ARPU (average revenue per user/club) while retaining a free or standard tier to maintain acquisition momentum. - Partnership Ecosystem & Strategic Relationships
We collaborate with strategic partners in the grassroots sports space. These partnerships accelerate distribution, drive network effects, and provide credibility. For example, working with sports leagues to onboard entire league hierarchies, while a sponsor partner may provide funding or co-marketing.
Together, these pillars ensure we’re not just increasing the number of clubs using our platform, but also increasing the depth of usage (with more modules and features per club) and revenue per club (via premium tiers and sponsorship monetisation).
