Jesse

Jesse works at Stack Sports — ranked #10 on my Top 25 Sports Technology Companies list. Full disclosure: I used to work there too. Stack Sports provides the end-to-end technology infrastructure for youth sports in America: registration, league management, tournament operations, websites, and mobile apps. They power millions of athletes and thousands of organizations. It's the kind of platform that doesn't make headlines but makes sports happen for millions of families every season.

I connected with Jesse through Daniel Hill — h/t Daniel Hill for making the introduction. That's how the best networks work: someone sees an overlap, makes the connection, and both sides are better for it. Jesse is now part of the growing Cloud Nimbus / Nimba Solutions network, and through this connection I also met Matt Kowalski, who I'm looking to loop in as well.

When you work in sports technology, you're building the infrastructure that keeps entire seasons running. That's not glamorous work — it's essential work. And Jesse is right in the middle of it.

Sports technology is one of those industries where the people building the infrastructure rarely get the credit. The coaches get the wins, the athletes get the highlights, but someone has to build the systems that register the players, schedule the games, manage the leagues, and keep entire seasons running. That's what Stack Sports does, and that's what Jesse is part of.

The Cloud Nimbus network is only as strong as the people in it. Jesse brings sports technology expertise, Stack Sports experience, and the kind of industry knowledge that makes everyone around him more informed. Connected through Daniel Hill, connecting us to Matt Kowalski — that's how networks are supposed to work.
