Momentum Public Relations
Press release: March 8 2018
ProSmart Enterprises Inc. (TSXV:PROS) (“ProSmart” or the “Company”), a global online network, connecting sports fans, teams and brands, is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Firestitch Inc. (“Firestitch”) to accelerate development of its next generation sports community platform. The new features and functionality will help drive user growth, as well as provide additional partner services that will enhance revenue potential for the Company. ProSmart’s online network already has industry-leading advantages, such as sports-training, coaching and team management content created exclusively by Hall-of-Famers, Olympic and Professional athletes and coaches. In the last two years, ProSmart users amongst sports fans, players and coaches has grown by 1000% and now spans more than 100 countries. The Company also recently announced a strategic acquisition in China as the first step in an aggressive expansion into the rapidly-growing Chinese sports market.
ProSmart’s new online networking and community engine will dramatically expand functionality and value for users, while adding new, potential revenue streams and increasing diversity, customization and new publishing tools for partners. It will also provide seamless integration of new technologies (organically built, licensed or acquired) and allow better data capture and analysis. This will facilitate greater revenue generation per user over a longer period of time, which means a high lifetime value per user.
Says Alan Schuler, Co-founder and CEO of ProSmart: “We have been working closely with our users, as well as new partners like the Vancouver Canucks and many other professional sports teams and franchises that have expressed strong interest in partnering with us. This has helped us build a crystal-clear understanding of the enhancements they want to see in the ProSmart online network and marketplace engine. This agreement puts us on a greatly-accelerated path to our next generation platform so we are excited to work with Firestitch. Once complete, these enhancements will unlock a number of market opportunities. We are very pleased that Firestitch recognizes our market potential and is taking a significant part of their compensation in shares.”
