Intro

Hi! I’m Sam Wertheimer, founder of Sick Day Sports Club following 5+ years building marketplace products at Airbnb. High lead gen costs is the supply-side challenge we’re solving and disaggregated inventory is the demand-side challenge. To address these issues, our marketplace creates a sticky experience for demand that convenes and qualifies potential clients while supporting - but not requiring - transactions for suppliers.

About

Sick Day Sports Cub subscribers receive varying tiers of access to our global network of outdoor adventure guides - the linchpin of the outdoor industry. At the lowest level subscribers get expert-curated advice on self-guided and group adventures. Mid-level members get access to advice plus matchmaking services with other local members and top-level subscribers get these services plus real-world adventure support like gear transport. Suppliers can access the qualified leads, offer existing products or personalize recommendations and services while choosing whether to run booking transactions through our lightweight portal or their own payment system.
