Jump Forward Shark Tank Pitch
Brian Duggan and Adam McCombs created Jump Forward, a website allowing high school athletes to create a profile with stats and videos to market themselves to colleges. This also helps college recruiters sift through more prospects quicker and at a lower cost.
They charge a subscription to the colleges to use their platform and have 30 schools, over 300 coaches, and 60k student-athletes utilizing the platform. In three months, they have made $150k in revenue.
It's too technological for some of the sharks' comfort zones, but Robert and Kevin O'Leary are willing to take a swing and another swing and a third string. After some back and forth, the three parties settle on a deal.
