Teamworks now sits inside more than 7,000 elite sports organisations around the world.

More than 7,000 organisations. Fourteen acquisition transactions covering at least 18 companies and business assets since 2019. A valuation above $1.5 billion.

Teamworks now goes far beyond scheduling.

Its products help sports organisations recruit athletes, manage payments, plan nutrition, monitor training, treat injuries, analyse performance and decide whether a player should be retained or released.

The company built that wider system through 14 acquisitions, gradually adding the specialist software, data and expertise used across different parts of an athlete’s career.

Teamworks has spent the past several years connecting the people around an athlete, the systems those people use and the data those systems produce.

What began as a shared calendar is becoming the infrastructure through which elite sports organisations manage athletes and make some of their most important sporting and financial decisions.
