3. OPPORTUNITY DEFINITION

With the beginning of 21st century, doing sports have gained too much importance in our daily lives. For some, it has been used as a tool to be fit and healthy, whereas some have adopted it as a lifestyle. However, sometimes it becomes a big problem to find a partner or teammate to do sports with. It may be that you are bored of doing sports alone, or you may need one for sure to accomplish adequate number of players to do a certain sport.

One of the reasons people join “networks” is, as the name suggests, to get connected with each other. Sports teams have many things in common. First, they play the same game that brought them together. Secondly, they use the same language while playing their game. This is an element and a symbol of unity. Third, they are together for the same purpose, to play. Thus, there must be many things that bring them closer together. They have a common vision and a common mission. People do not have to be connected in sports alone. They can be connected professionally and in business.

In huge sports clubs or fitness centers, in country clubs or athletic clubs, it may seem easy to find partners or teammates to connect and create network since there are many members, but finding the right one who is at the same athletic level and has the same skills/abilities with you is not very common. People belonging to the same profession, say, engineers, lawyers, doctors, and teachers, can be connected by a mobile application so that they can find each other whenever there is anything important to cause them to do so. Some of the characteristics that they

Thus, we used this concept to develop our Sportup to bring people together. With Sportup, sports people will be able to find partners whenever and wherever they need through a simple application with many filters to narrow their search in terms of their needs. The Sportup will enable professionals, business people, and sports people to connect in their networks.

On the other hand, business people usually find it hard to connect with their fellow business people, their partners, their clients, their advisors, and suppliers, to mention a few. It becomes much more difficult in the absence of a “unifying” factor that only focuses on people with a common vision and mission. Our application seizes this opportunity to connect business people with their clients, their current and possible future partners, their prospective suppliers, and other members of their chain of distribution. With Sportup, they will be able to find partners for their exclusive sports, where few but avant-garde people have interest. This will also create opportunities to build new partnerships in the business world. For professionals, time is very important. With our application, it is going to be less time consuming to find partners right away from their smart phones, which will be another attracting point for them. But for them, the striking point of our application that will lead us to be unique is the ability to combine sports network with the professional network. From another perspective, so to say from more enterprise level, operators of sport centers will also be able to manage their idle facilities, such as golf courses, squash courts, or even riding facilities by creating their corporate
