2. "We were bombarded with people who
told us that to be on 24 hours a day, a
single-niche network of sports couldn’t
sustain itself. It simply wouldn’t
happen."
— Bill Rasmussen, Founder of ESPN, 1979

platforms devoted entirely to one audience?
6. While niche marketplaces are upending every other industry:
▸ Uber for transportation
▸ AirBnb for travelers
▸ Etsy for crafters
▸ Reverb for musicians
▸ CoachUp for sports coaching
▸ GrandStreet for hardware
▸ DogVacay for dog sitting
7. Think about that.
NO marketplace exists for the $17 billion/year
sports merchandise market!
