Looks very promising! Can you tell us about the customer development process you went through for this? Did you get a chance to speak to reporters or newspapers about their needs or the chances of them partnering with you, or are you going for individual early adopters for now? Best of luck.

Thanks! I launched statsheet.com two years ago. Since then I've talked to several big sports media companies as well as a dozen TV/news, sports betting, and other sports-related website owners. They all liked the content I was creating on statsheet.com and was interested in getting it on their site(s). Embed StatSheet is my solution for that. If someone says: "I wish my sports site/section had some of the stuff statsheet.com has", now there is an app for that :-)

This also fills a gap in the current sports data provider market today. Small content creators (ie bloggers) are completely priced out of the market. Second, you either need to be a programmer (to consume XML feeds) or use a white label hosted service. Embed StatSheet enables website owners to maintain control over their website without needing to hire programmers to do the integration (for many deployment scenarios).

Great product - very well executed. I think you might be able to capture a sweet spot in the market: self-service, afordable and fully customizable sports stats/content. Would love to see clear pricing info up-front. Again, great stuff!
