will work for courtside seats
professional athletes getting interested in startups is definitely very cool. imagine companies being able to offer their employees courtside seats and the ‘inside stuff’ at games. it’s an incredible recruiting carrot. i personally will join any company that can offer season courtside seats, access to player’s lounge and occasional travel in the team jet. 😉
