The Whole Brain of Sports.

Two hemispheres connected by AI. Every investment tested or proven in professional franchise environments through the Sandbox before anyone gets a term sheet.

Sports franchises need a brain.

Every modern enterprise has a technology stack and a leadership team to run it. Professional sports franchises — multi-billion-dollar businesses — largely do not. Teams are missing fan engagement opportunities, monetization strategy, and the speed to use technology to beat competitors, on the field and with the fans.

01

Lacking technical leadership

Most franchises operate without dedicated technology leadership, or with an overworked CIO, leaving critical decisions to generalists.

02

Confused AI adoption

Teams fall behind as AI reshapes fan engagement, scouting, and operations — with no internal experts to lead adoption.

03

Fragmented solutions

Franchises rely on disconnected, legacy tools with no unified operating system — creating costly inefficiencies.

Two hemispheres. One loop.

Most sports venture funds invest broadly, spreading thin across dozens of categories. BOA concentrates exclusively on the two highest-value, highest-velocity categories in sports technology.

Team Tech

Internal Operating Layer · Mission-critical data that needs protection
  • AI-driven scouting & analytics
  • Injury prediction & athlete monitoring
  • Performance & video analysis
  • Real-time play calling
  • Front-office intelligence & security
  • Team operations software

Fan Tech

The Revenue Engine · Mission-critical data that offers monetization
  • Dynamic pricing & ticketing
  • Loyalty & membership platforms
  • Streaming monetization
  • Sponsorship optimization
  • Secondary marketplaces
