“Coachbetter meets the needs of all coaches and players and supports their development. I wish it would have been there when I was a kid and started playing football. I truly believe in the team and the product and want to support the mission and vision of Coachbetter as an investor with my network“, says Steven Nzonzi.

International Expansion in Focus

Coachbetter provides a highly innovative platform that helps coaches, clubs and federations all over the world align, communicate and collaborate. Users have access to a rich digital library of drills and training curriculum to better plan and execute development plans with proven techniques from every level of football.

Last year, the startup successfully closed its Pre-Seed Investment round and collected USD 1 million from prestigious investors in the industry and started to expand internationally. Mark Sampson, 2015 FIFA Women´s World Cup Bronze medalist as Head Coach of the Lionesses and Ballon d’Or nominee, joined Coachbetter as Technical Director to further drive business development, especially in the UK.

The world’s biggest names in football like Borussia Dortmund already use Coachbetter for player and coaches’ education throughout their international academies. In the UK, clubs and academies from all levels, such as Chelsea Rovers FC, Level 7 Academy, Taffs Well FC Academy and Cardiff and the Vale College Academy trust Coachbetter. Further partnerships are in the pipeline.
