In the second year of college, a small team of three embarked on a journey to create PocketCoach, a platform designed to revolutionize the sports technology landscape. Driven by a shared passion for sports and a commitment to innovation, the early days were filled with relentless brainstorming sessions, countless lines of code, and late-night discussions. The goal was clear: to develop a product that would make a meaningful impact in the sports industry.

The turning point for PocketCoach came with acceptance into the Cisco thingQbator program, facilitated by the NASSCOM Foundation. This opportunity provided access to mentorship from industry experts, who helped navigate the complexities of building a startup. The guidance received was invaluable, helping the team overcome challenges and refine their approach. In addition to mentorship, the program also provided funding and resources, which enabled the team to expand and further develop their product.

This year, on Independence Day, PocketCoach was officially launched. The journey leading to this moment was filled with hard work, perseverance, and continuous learning. The launch was a significant milestone, marking the transition from concept to reality. The impact made in such a short time has exceeded expectations, reinforcing the importance of the team’s dedication and the support received along the way.

Cisco thingQbator played an essential role in turning PocketCoach from a vision into a reality. The mentorship, resources, and funding provided by the program were instrumental in helping the team navigate the startup landscape and remain focused on their goals. The continued support of thingQbator has empowered PocketCoach to make strides in the sports technology industry and contribute to the field in a meaningful way.
