Phenom

Phenom, an angel backed start-up based in San Francisco, CA, and a 500 Startups Batch 16 company, was founded out of a desire to give young athletes a voice. We are building the largest community of young athletes, enabling them to talk about the products that they love and share stories about their athletic achievements. With E-Commerce changing and Big Data driving key business decisions across a number of markets, we provide a platform for brands and retailers to easily access the HS athlete segment. Borrowing from a model that has been successful in other markets such as housing (Houzz), weddings (Loverly), and lifestyle products (Wanelo), Phenom fills the void in the amateur athlete space. Our native iOS app has been ranked as high as #22 in the App Store Sports Category, and consistently sits in the top 100. Phenom has one rule, if you say you’re going to do it, THEN do it. When you do it, do it well. The Team We’re a team that practices transparency, accountability, and craftsmanship in order to produce beautiful products that meet both our user and client needs. We believe quality and speed is gained with repeatable process and proper techniques. Ongoing improvements ensure continual success, thus we challenge each other daily to become more efficient and effective. We’re a gritty group of hustlers that is constantly thinking outside the box. Most importantly, we believe that sports and entrepreneurship are synonymous; we play to win.
