About

Started with one guy who moved to Toronto and lost his sports network.

Sportmeet started as a class project at Toronto Metropolitan University's Master of Digital Media program, Cohort 13. Eric Bell had just moved to Toronto and lost the easy access to pickup games he'd always had — the usual fixes (Facebook groups, WhatsApp chats, Meetup) were good at listing events, not at building the kind of recurring group you actually want to play with every week.

That class project became a pitch, then a real product, built together with Tharujan Ravitharan. It's been live on iOS and Android since, and is now being rebuilt from the ground up as Sportmeet V2 — same mission, cleaner build, matched back to the original design vision.

"Most competitors focus on events and logistics. Sportmeet focuses on people and relationships."
