As founder and CEO of PlayyOn, Reiss has evolved PlayyOn into a viable platform solution in the sports management technology sector, providing a comprehensive software platform for event management, registrations, payments, communications, and community building. Used by around 9,000 organizations, PlayyOn's focus is on streamlining the processes associated with organizing and participating in sports events and programs. PlayyOn offers a unique social media-centric model that fosters community engagement beyond basic sports events and program management. PlayyOn is a social media centricplatform, like a LinkedIn or a Spotify which provides a vertical community and marketplace.As both a coach and an athlete, Reiss saw that organizers (managers, coaches, trainers, directors), typically use a hodgepodge of apps to connect, communicate, and make payments for various things. Managing multiple apps is time consuming for the organizer and it is often confusing and frustrating for participants. Whether it is a community organizer running a local event or a professional athleteengaging with his/her fans, too many apps leads to confusion and frustration.Together, with a team of other elite athletes, coaches and manager, Reiss worked to build an affordable, instant access, all-in-one app for managing sport and recreation program and events. PlayyOn makes organizing and management easier for all involved. For admins, forcoaches, for players and for fans. PlayyOn also allows elite athletes to easily connect withtheir community and monetize their craft.
