“Our vision is to give equal possibilities to all actors of the sports environment by providing access to innovation and technology. Our work empowers people to have more time for sport, creating new tools to simplify work and manage information.

In the next three years, we intend to monetize communities with the development of B2C and B2B2C features for families, fans and athletes, integrate third parties to sell and test their products, expand internationally and become the European market leader”, states Tommaso Guerra, CEO.
Golee is the one-stop solution that completely digitizes the activities of sports clubs, athletes, and others involved in the ecosystem, a SaaS solution that has the ability to organize all daily operations in a single platform.
Golee facilitates and standardizes the way sports associations work, creating a suitable platform to collect statistics that users can compare and improve. The product gives universal guidelines to ease communication and unify the database of the sports world, allowing every person in a sports association to access managers, secretaries, coaches, athletes, parents, supporters.
For example, secretaries can check medical examination deadlines, payment of fees, health care documents; coaches can organize sports activities and monitor training sessions, matches and tournaments; parents can pay the fees, attend events and see the progress of their children.
“We’re pleased to announce Golee’s campaign on SeedBlink, as this is the first Italian startup on the platform. The digitalization trend fueled by the pandemic is a great boost for Golee’s Sportstech solution – I believe SeedBlink is perfectly positioned to benefit from the growth of the sector and support both Italian investors and tech start-ups looking to expand at full speed along the way,” said Andrei Dudoiu, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at SeedBlink.“SeedBlink is a crowd investing platform where investors find the safest investment conditions, while tech start-ups find a professional working environment as well as the availability they are looking for.

Stay tuned as we will be closing some exciting partnerships and deals soon,” he added.
