Problem
Many talented women athletes are overlooked by college recruiters due to limited visibility, exposure, and financial resources, while women's athletic programs often struggle to find talent because they are underfunded and lack the recruiting reach of larger programs. This disparity limits college access and the economic mobility that a bachelor's degree provides.
Solution
URP Sports provides an AI-powered recruiting platform that connects women athletes with college programs through precision matching technology. The system analyzes athlete profiles and program needs to create tailored matches, going beyond simple emails or listings. Athletes can create detailed profiles, upload highlights, live stream games, and share their digital draft card with coaches via QR codes. Coaches and college programs can search for athletes, follow prospects, watch games, and communicate directly through instant messaging and video chat, all supported by AI-driven recommendations.
