Own your own basketball court
Hello hello! What’s up?
This is a letter, a personal letter, from me to you. I hope to send it to you every week. If you find it boring, or want to holler at me, just reply to this.
Recently, I came across a tweet complaining about the lack of Basketball courts in Indiranagar:
We were playing basketball and then this happened????
It’s quite sad that companies have to do this because pickleball helps them generate more revenue.
There’s only one decent court in Indiranagar where our community plays and Game Theory is leaving no stones unturned to get… x.com/i/web/status/1…

Pickleball courts are taking over basketball courts. Sad news for basketball players!
But turns out it’s not because of the lack of demand:
People are saying Basketball has a supply demand issue.
We currently play only in one court of Indiranagar and already 100+ hoopers strong in 2 weeks. This is our game schedule for the next two weeks and player slots are going full in 30 minutes.

When I read the above tweet, I suddenly remembered that I have a place near my house where there are basketball courts.
My wife had inquired about the place (to convert them to pickleball courts 😬) but the conversation didn’t conclude because she found a place somewhere else.
So I thought why not share this opportunity to create a small business with people!
There is a college/school which is pretty empty these days. They have the basketball courts that I am talking about.

The courts and college both are empty, so the administration is having talks with people who might want to use this infrastructure to generate revenue.
If that’s you, I have the contact information:

Location of the college:
You can do a revenue share model with the college, generate good will among the basketball players, and proudly show off as an owner of sports facility 😀.
You can organize open plays, or rent out the place by the hour on Playo.
Your upfront costs should be very low, except for maybe some repairs.
Call on the numbers listed and try to get in touch with the dean or secretary. They would be the ones making a decision!
If you’re on this email list, and like to receive updates from me, would love for you to subscribe on youtube!
P.S. If you’d like me to be able to do experiments like above and share learnings, hire me and my team to help you run your business better. 😬
