Finding the right sporting goods can be time consuming and complex, not to mention expensive. So we reimagined a better way. We eliminated the need to search several sites and scroll through irrelevant results to find the perfect sporting goods. ROUND2, an AI-powered sporting goods platform connects youth athletes to affordable gear by aggregating goods from the top online retailers and brands and displaying the best results based on the individual athletes needs. We launched a year ago and have helped thousands of athletes find the gear for them. Backed by a top 5% accelerator (Capital Innovators, Winter 2019), we were founded in '18 by former pro athletes who realized how difficult it was to find high-quality sports gear online for the right prices. Since launching the marketplace, thousands have joined our community and contributed to our mission of making sporting goods more affordable.
