The Initiated
Scout the future
The Challenge
High school women's basketball coaches and recruits lack a centralized platform for scouting, rankings, and recruiting communication. Existing tools are outdated, focused on men's sports, and don't address the unique needs of the women's basketball ecosystem that has been historically underserved by recruiting technology.
Our Approach
Built for the specific needs of women's basketball — not a generic sports platform. We designed a subscription model for coaches with free access for recruits, a video-first scouting workflow with ranking algorithms, and role-based dashboards for athletes, club teams, high school programs, and college coaches.
What We Built
A multi-user scouting platform with searchable player profiles, video uploads and film review, algorithmic player rankings, coach-recruit messaging, subscription billing via Stripe, and event management for showcases and tournaments.

“The Initiated gave our program a recruiting edge we never had. We can now discover and evaluate talent nationally instead of relying on word of mouth.”
