COMPANY: Puck App
ELEVATOR PITCH
Rent a hockey goalie in seconds.
PRODUCT/SERVICE DESCRIPTION
Puck is an app that allows hockey players to quickly rent a goalie for their game by matching their team with the best available goalie.
It ensures that every recreational hockey game has two goalies and is as fun as possible.
DIFFERENTIATORS VS. THE COMPETITION
There are many competitors in this space but nothing is mobile, social and with rated goalies. The current model requires people to submit a form on the website or even call a goalie agency to try and find a goalie.
Competitors:
Puck is a better product for three main reasons:
– Allows users to quickly find a goalie for their game
– Teams are matched with only the best goalies based on previous ratings
– Cashless transactions and the option to tip based on performance
