Our work with
VENDORS
Our consultancy arm helps sports tech vendors better understand and serve athletic departments and youth sports organizations. We work with veteran vendors, help bring new companies into the space, test the market, run pilots, and provide guidance for building long term fruitful partnerships with schools and organizations.
Core to our mission – and what makes us successful in our work with vendors – is understanding athletic director needs and channeling their voices in our work and services.
To achieve this, we not only employ a wealth of collective experience and knowledge, but we enlist help and guidance from a vast network of athletic directors and sports leaders across the country.
VENDOR IMPACT INITIATIVE
K12 Sports Tech was founded on the belief that it is all of our responsibilities from within the sector to advocate for young people participating in sports and the people who serve them each and every day. For this reason we are proud to announce the K12 Sports Tech Vendor Impact Initiative.
The initiative will give athletic directors from all over the country the opportunity to provide candid, measurable, and personally written feedback about the vendors they have invested in to make high-level impacts on their athletic programs.
Review a vendor.
Through this initiative K12’s mission is to bring an increased level of both transparency and community to a space where it is often lacking. The initiative will not only provide a platform for ADs to give feedback, but it will also provide excellent data and content to recognize vendors, as well as, insights into their growth areas and the industry as a whole.
