Strengths
says, "Critical distribution deal with FOX gives them a boost, led by a strong team that has immense expertise in the space."
Advice
says, "Building mass adoption for a new sport is challenging. They should focus on more distribution deals, out-of-the-box ideas to attract more viewers and fans, create or partner with a league for colleges similar to the NCAA."

The flight of the disc in Ultimate is beautiful. The lift, spin, and curved flights of the disk, combined with the athleticism of the players, create exhilaration— and heartbreak. As a former player at Cornell, and leader of the first Seattle team, I hope that introducing the AUDL to new fans will encourage even more kids to play Ultimate in school, and more serious athletes to compete at every level. I predict that one day ultimate will become the top team action sport for everyone.

Attended a live Atlanta Hustle game and had a great time. Convinced all it will take is exposure for people to fall in love with the game.

I have no doubt it's just the very beginning for the AUDL and I couldn't be more excited to be a part of its continued success story! What's attractive to me about the potential here is the leverage of an ever increasing pool of content being generated + the potential for fan fantasy league style gamification of the sport to drive engagement.
Best of luck to everyone and I can't wait to see ultimate frisbee in the olympics one day. 🙌

I really believe in not just the quality of the product, but the spirit behind the sport and the mission of this league. The league has made great strides in short time establishing a national footprint and I think the sport will only be embraced more in the future.

Love this sport!!!!
Excited to be part of it
I invest to not only to have my investments work for me but help out communities with products and services
I like the chance to be part of a league.
I've watched the league on espn. I feal it could do better in coming years. And yes the pandemic will get people into this sport..
Interested in seeing AUDL succeed. Split time between Dallas and Austin so interested in those franchises. Know one game developer as well.
I love Ultimate Frisbee and I desperately want the love of my favorite sport to play to become something more people will find exciting overcoming the stereotype that ultimate is a sport for dorks and nerds. It involves a lot of coordination, timing, stamina, and teamwork. Hopefully seeing the league have success will influence more young people to play and schools to start their own programs too.
