Entrepreneurs from all over the world have hopes and dreams of one day of developing a product that can eventually be bought by one of the big investors in their industry.

The problem is that the large majority of these individuals aren’t able to show their ideas and products to investors and often times make critical mistakes that perhaps could have been avoided with the proper professional advice.

While our SportTechie team isn’t able to get sports tech entrepreneurs sit-down meetings with every big sports related investor, we do have the next best thing to share.

Recently at the #SportsTechMeetup in San Francisco many top sports investors sat down and had a panel discussion on what makes a successful product in the sports industry. They also shared numerous pieces of advice to entrepreneurs trying to create the next big sports related product.

The best part? They filmed the whole discussion!

Take a look at the video posted below to see some great ideas and insights from top decision makers in the sports industry.
