1. What is your elevator pitch?

Babasport is an online booking website of sports, recreation, and unusual touristic activities.

2. Problem & Solution

86% of sports participants said they want a single website which will centralize all sport and leisure activities.

Babasport centralizes activities on babasport.fr. Our users can access quickly and easily all the informations that they need.
Sport providers have actually old fashioned website which no longer answer to our way of consuming (mobile, internet everywhere all the time)

3. Market – your target market and the overall market

We have a huge market including all teambuilding activites, bachelor party, birthday, touristic activites.

We estimated the market at € 900 million in B2C and 2 Billion € in B2B.

4. Business Model – how do you make money?

First year : booking fees from 15 to 20% (that we take in margin of sport provider, user pay nothing) + organization of events
Second year : monthly subscription for providers (Back office, CRM, marketing campaign, SEO ..).

5. Management Team – with titles

We need 500,000€ to finance the different skills needed for growth, increase traffic and awareness of the site and develop new features on the website.

We already raised some money :
- Fundraising of 60,000 € in June 2016
- Subsidy of 30 000 € with the BPI
