The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Brian Litvak no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Oh, it was 2010. Okay, got it. And did you, and sorry, you, do you raise your first round of financing right at the beginning or you waited?

A We, we, we have like friends and family and angel investors. We had one, we kind of came out of that sports by company. So that company was started in 2007. In 2010, we really built up league apps. It was me and a, a, a core group of engineers and my partner. Uh, and we, we had raised friends and family and angel, uh, rounds up until 2015 with the idea of most, uh, VC or institutional investors laughed at it in our face that this was a market, a total addressable market. Uh, that was large enough to attract venture investing. Uh, and we knew it was. We knew that the economy of youth sports was big enough, but it took a while to be able to show enough traction to be able to tell that story in a way that made sense for us to raise a more, more, uh, institutional finance.
