Financing your sports bar: a winning pitch.

Issue

Imagine a Friday night. You and your friends are looking for a place to watch the big game and grab some drinks. You go from one sports bar to another, but they all seem to be missing something. One has good drinks but poor food, while the other has great food but doesn’t show the game you want to watch.

This is the problem we aim to solve with our sports bar. Sports fans often have to visit several bars to find a place that meets all their needs. This experience is frustrating, long and costly. We want to create a go-to sports bar that has it all in one place.

The issue is highly relevant because sports have universal appeal, and millions of people enjoy watching and playing them. According to Statista , the global sports market is estimated to be worth 8.5 billion in 2021. This market has consistently shown growth over the past decade and is expected to continue.

The current solution for this problem is fragmented. Customers have to visit multiple bars, harden the high cost and inconvenience of transportation. This is why the market is open to innovative solutions. Our sports bar aims to provide an all-in-one solution for sports fans that meets their food, drink and entertainment needs.

The problem exists for several reasons. Sports bars are often designed around a particular sports team, league or theme, catering to specific customer groups. The result is a fragmented market, where no single sports bar caters to everyone. Additionally, the quality of food and drink in sports bars is often poor. People need a place that offers a good balance between good entertainment and great food and drink. This is where our sports bar comes into the picture.
