Looking for a fellow Knight or be networked to an investment group for a unique opportunity that we are currently shopping:
Opportunity: Sports Academy
**Background:
- Have grown from $0/month to ~40k/month in revenues in 14 months with just one sport. With no accessory revenue and now at capacity
- Great branding appealing to all sport academy
- located in one of the fastest growing counties in the country. Insane amount of homes permitted.
- Networked with IMG and a few colleges
- Looking to play a market role sub-tier to IMG which involves $80k/year that many can’t afford. Big market here.
- 2 facilities currently leased and now moving to build headquarters.
**My background
- 25 years in corporate finance and strategy working with top management consulting firms scaling operations , business development , commercial strategy , transformations for 4 Fortune 500 companies
- Overseen annual sales of up to $40B , $6B cash flow and annual capital of $1.5B
- Significant experience in enterprise valuation, finance optimization and derisking projects.
- Only had to invest $50k to get this going, but currently running financials for $1.2M land purchase.
- Other BOD member ran 1000+ football club
**Other notes:
- This ones fun: Currently in discussion with former UCF football assistant about running football program. Not current sport
- Business has no overhead. I have automated most back office functions. I do all branding, web, etc. soon I’ll just have AI do that
- Tuition is subscription based and can see a 100% increase per customer with new facility and customers will retain at 80% (est)
- Revenue and cash flow growth potential of 10-20x in 3 years.
- IMG had an EV of $1.5B. This business is highly scalable and quickly with low capital requirements and low labor cost.
***Ask and get in touch
- Serious inquiries only. This is a get in early moderate risk , high reward opportunity
- $1.5M land budget though we are working with county commissioners to see if we can score a 99 year lease. Land can be held in seperate entity as land lease and should appreciate as we negotiate to bottom. Best friend astute commercial RE here for 20 years.
- $2M-$3M building budget. Club parent who is large builder who has good money has agreed to build 30k sqft facility at his cost. Design, permit, civil, etc. Good capex experience on our team to value engineer the project. Market valuation expected at $3-5M on building as there will be no margin on the building as mentioned. Other companies talking about donating materials. In other words equity will be built in.
- Club parent high up with Orlando Health. They have expanded across Florida. Will be approaching several about sponsorship. Currently in discussion on a 2k sqft wellness center inside facility with OH kiosks.
- A couple pieces of land already getting contracts submitted to do the due dillegence
- 5-7 acres and multiple sports indoor/outdoor and full asset utilization to derisk the project even further.
- Mix of structured debt, equity and sponsorships/donations being sought. We just started this process last week and some club parents have stepped forward. Ask ranges from $500k to $4M. One partner preferred.
- Debt/equity to be preferred with $1M in free cash flow by 2026 possible.
**Wrapup
My current perspective is that this is simply a really fun and enjoyable opportunity. It’s really rewarding to make an impact at a community level with these kids. It’s been thrilling.
I have the experience and background to scale this quickly and there is a huge void across the state. While there is moderate risk, there is also a realistic potential of mid 8 figure revenue in 5 years if we fuel it . We have jumped out to $500k run rate with little effort. Demand is severely underserved and inelastic. Also a luxury service and more insulated from economic downturn. Avg surrounding property values $800-$1.2M for long distances.
If you are a high worth net individual that would be interested in hearing more let’s talk. We can even have lunch with that former UCF coach
DM or reply here if interested. Maintaining some confidentiality for now.
