Federated social bracket-picking for private communities

Federated social bracket-picking for private communities targets a $1.2B = 40M annual tournament participants × $30 ARPU total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 8% YoY growth — estimate based on rising social sports engagement and fantasy sports market growth reports.

Key trends driving demand: Decentralization — rising interest in federated social networks increases demand for community-native tools that don't require centralized accounts.; Privacy-first social features — users prefer tools that respect privacy and allow instance-level control, creating opportunity for federated-first utilities.; Seasonal virality — predictable spikes around major tournaments (e.g., March Madness) make bracket tools highly viral if integrated with social platforms.; Embedding and composability — platforms that provide easy embeds and API-first integrations are adopted faster by community site admins and instance operators..
