AD Think Tank PROGRAMS: Referrals & Projects
REFERRAL PROGRAM DETAILS
True to our mission, we want to align our goals with yours and do what we can (as a bootstrapping startup!) to compensate you for your precious time and professional network. So we are adding $20 per referred member to any future compensation from work on a K12 client project. (To track this, we added a “Referred by” field to the AD Think Tank application)

What Our Members Say
★★★★★
The K12 Sports Tech team has created a powerful bridge that connects tech industry innovators to Athletic Directors – those of us doing the work on the ground who can most benefit from continuous innovation. Our ability to give direct feedback to tech leaders helps guide them toward what will work for our schools, coaches, athletes, and families. In my experience, the tech companies in the AD Think Tank have truly valued the insights we provide. We also get the benefit of discovering potential opportunities for growth through the relationships we develop with tech leaders. A bonus for me is experiencing the servant leadership, professionalism, and vision of the K12 Sports Tech team.

I’m very excited about the opportunity to be a part of the K12 Sports Tech AD Think Tank. From the moment I joined the team, I felt welcomed and valued.
They have provided me with the opportunity to learn about new innovative technology in the space that potentially could have a major impact on my program and others across the country. As a forward-thinker, I’m thankful for this and for the ability to provide feedback on those solutions – and be paid for my insight and time.
I would absolutely recommend K12 Sports Tech and the AD Think Tank to my fellow athletic administrators and to all companies looking to enter or gain traction in the school sports industry.
