Bru,

The list you sent to me for South Africa is insane!!! Thanks a lot. As promised, below is a bit about my football venture - whoever you can connect me with would be massive. I will be there from August 22 - Sep 4. The last four days are purely for business development. In fact, I will most likely be in South Africa again in November speaking on a panel at Soccerex Africa. Sorry about some of the boiler plate stuff below :)

--------------------


I am the Chief Business Officer of YouFoot, a Paris-based software company that has developed a new way to generate football data. We work with football associations, clubs, leagues and media partners by providing them statistics and data generated for match and player tracking. This data is used to power our partners’ digital properties - web, mobile, Facebook and Twitter - for the purposes of fan engagement, marketing and statistical archiving, in the process. Through this process, we have successfully provided our partners with new revenue streams.


Essentially, YouFoot seamlessly integrates statistics and data into existing media platforms to offer an engaging solution to the fans. We cover all major tournaments and football leagues around the world - including England, Italy, France, Spain and Germany. Moreover, our data can be made available in any regional language upon request - currently we support 15 major languages.


Case study:

Most recently, we powered the World Cup coverage for India Today, India's 2nd largest publishing house with ~14 million monthly unique visitors. By combining YouFoot's real-time statistics with India Today's existing syndicate partnerships for content, we were able to provide a one stop solution.  Link: http://indiatoday.intoday.in/fifa2014/


What BBC says about YouFoot:

A recent BBC evaluation of YouFoot technology had the following to say after a trial of the YouFoot software:

  • "YouFoot is a commercially-produced user-operated, web-based software system designed to generate play-by-play incidents and action from live football matches in order to create statistics, match reports and associated information from the matches for end consumers."


  • "I found the YouFoot system to be robust, responsive, simple to use and very versatile. It has a fast learning curve, with very little technical knowledge required on the part of the operator to make full use of its functions. I encountered no significant bugs or errors during its use


  • "As a system, I found the YouFoot software to be very practical, effortless to use and highly responsive. I encountered no significant problems that impeded its use and found it a thoroughly enjoyable experience"


For further information, I've attached our presentation, the BBC evaluation of YouFoot technology and a small brief with further information about YouFoot.


If you have any questions or require any further information, do let me know.


Look forward to hearing from you.


Best Regards,


Miheer Walavalkar
