Our take
Sports is big business, but unlike most big businesses, it has sorely lacked in digital tools developed with the industry's needs in mind. Teamworks has stepped into this gap, providing a suite of modern digital tools aimed at supporting sports and athletics organizations of all types.
Founded in 2006, Teamworks has grown into a multinational company with a customer base of over 6,000 organizations, ranging from collegiate athletics departments to teams in all major professional leagues. Offering a range of sports-focused products from its central hub, including HR tools, nutrition management programs, squad communication functions and marketing resources, to name just a few, it faces little competition in this space and has grown into a global market leader in the sports operations sector.
Teamworks' success has attracted a high degree of investment, most recently in a major Series E round led by Dragoneer Investment Group. This funding is being used primarily to expand its growth in new regions and into additional sporting categories, and to fuel its M&A strategy which has seen it acquire firms such as ARMS Software and Smartabase in 2023 alone. These acquisitions have allowed it to accelerate its project roadmap, and along with its own in-house R&D, it will continue to expand Teamworks' already commanding market lead.
