Capturing Players' Data

We all know that "Data is King" these days and Top Bins equipment takes your playing data to a whole other level. From tracking high scores for the casual user data to capturing performance-enhancing data for elite-level professional athletes, Top Bins captures your performances and your growth.

For teams and elite athletes our data hub makes it easy for coaches to spot problem areas, suggest appropriate training, and track improvements over time. 

For the more casual user our app introduces a fresh, competitive element to training, boosting player engagement, and sharpening their hunger to improve. 

A player receives a score at the end of each drill based on their performance, which is then added to their profile. Players compete with themselves and each other via leaderboards, and can even measure their scores against top pros.

Competition

Top Bins would compete for attention in the sports and recreation space.

While there may be little if any direct competition, Top Bins would need to compete with other activities for parents and adults time attention and resources.  

In order to do this Top Bins would rely heavily on its unique experience - providing not only an insight into global soccer culture but an exciting and competitive arcade environment utilizing technology to improve health and skills.

The beauty of Top Bins is we see ourselves as a value add service to the entire soccer competition and not a competitor to any of them. If you are a travel program come and put your teams through the equipment and analyze their data - it is good enough for FC Barcelona.... If you are a rec team come and get some extra practice in or just keep playing in those cold winter months.

Revenue Projections

Our major revenue streams are outlined below with Monthly memberships provisionally ranging from $50 to $200 per month.

Total revenue builds up to $5,000K per year by Year Five.

Cost Estimates

Our major costs are outlined below.

When can I expect to see a profit?

Putting these together, our profit and loss projections for our first five years of operation are below:

We will pay investors 100% of our net profits, of the principal and accruing interest (15% of the original principal per year), until they have been repaid. And then we will pay investors 5% of net profits for the next 2 years.

So based on our financial projections, this is how investors might expect to be paid out (see the yellow rows at the bottom of the table below). i.e. Repaid principal and interest after two years. And then 5% of net profits in Years Three and Four.

Note: future projections are not guaranteed.

For me the simple answer to the question "Why should I invest in Top Bins" is summed up in one word.... Joy. The joy of the beautiful game is one of life's purest emotions. Now, ok I'm biased, I LOVE soccer! I have unlimited memories from a lifetime of highs as a United fan and lows as a more reluctant England supporter (don't say penalties!). Nonetheless, watching a child's face as he or she scores their first goal or the supportive fist bumps to a young goalkeeper after making a save is quite simply one of life's enjoyable experiences. Our goal at Top Bins is to spread the game...far and wide.... we want people to experience Soccer in a way that catches their hearts whether they have any desire of playing to a high standard or not.

We know that in these times there are many things competing for our children's attention and most of them involve screens and technology so we want to fully embrace technology but use it to bring people to a healthy and wholesome activity in the process.

The combination of technology and gamification of soccer is what we believe will help finally bring America to the top table of the global soccer community and along the way allow children to access the level of development technically only seen in the top European clubs WITHOUT the extreme costs associated with much of youth sports in America.

If you're passionate about soccer, we proudly invite you to invest in the beautiful game, and our community, by investing in Top Bins.
