ProfilePasser is the LinkedIn for global soccer recruiting.  
ProfilePasser is the first athletic recruiting app to connect competitive soccer players with college coaches.  We quickly gained traction and had over 1,000 athletes and 100 college coaches using our technology in the first four months of launching. We are proud graduates of Pittsburgh’s leading accelerator, AlphaLab, which was ranked #6 in the nation by TechCrunch in 2014.   Inc. Magazine selected ProfilePasser as one of the top-4 “Coolest College Startups in America” in March 2014.  As the Founder and CEO of ProfilePasser, I have over eighteen years of experience in the soccer market as both a player and a coach. 

Inc. Magazine's coolest college startups

For the sixth straight year, Inc., a national business publication, has highlighted the country's most promising startups coming out of colleges.  ProfilePasser was one of 16 college startups named to this year's list.  My company went on to participate in a March Madness style competition where ProfilePasser finished as one of the Top 4 Coolest College Startups in America.

demo day

ProfilePasser was accepted by AlphaLab, Pittsburgh's leading accelerator to participate in it's 11th Cycle. The incubator accepted 9 companies out of over 100 that applied.  I received a $25,000 in investment capital, office space, strategic business support, mentorship, and educational sessions to help me accelerate the launch and growth of my business.  At the end of the 20-week program, I pitched at AlphaLab Demo Day to investors and press from around the nation.

Startup weekend pittsburgh

I attended the second Startup Weekend Pittsburgh over three years ago when I pitched my company ProfilePasser and won 3rd place.  Coming into the weekend, I had no idea that those 54 hours would allow me to validate my idea and give me the confidence I needed to turn ProfilePasser into a real, growing business that would eventually turn into my job after college.
