Eyeball operates a mobile and web platform designed for the amateur sports ecosystem, giving coaches, players, and fans an always-on hub for communication, scheduling, scorekeeping, and real-time updates. The app—available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play—offers instant chat, live score reporting, and logistical information such as practice changes or nearby hotels for tournaments. By centralizing these tools, the company aims to streamline team management and enhance fan engagement before, during, and after games. Led by co-founder and CEO Jay Steele, the Halifax-based startup plans to leverage its community features to drive user growth across multiple amateur sports categories. With a fresh infusion of seed capital, Eyeball intends to accelerate product development, scale its user base, and relocate to a larger headquarters to accommodate expansion. The $1 million seed round provides the initial financial runway for these growth initiatives, though no specific revenue or user figures were disclosed in the article.
