Executive Summary

Creators in the sports niche spend hours chasing signals and formats across platforms and often miss micro-trends that drive short-form virality, which makes ideation a recurring productivity bottleneck for independent creators and small studios. This pain is acute because timing matters: a missed trend can mean a lost viral moment and lower monetization for creators who need a steady idea flow. Build a VA-powered discovery feed that blends real-time sports data and social signals with human curators to surface verified, platform-optimized topic prompts, hooks, and short-form formats (with source links, trend scores, and one-click copy/export). The product would prioritize speed and actionability—push alerts for breaking micro-trends, daily briefs tailored to a creator’s sport and platform, and lightweight integrations into creator workflows. The market looks attractive now: a $1.2B addressable market (3M creators × $400 ACV), rising creator professionalization, and the accelerating importance of TikTok/Reels mean creators are increasingly willing to pay for reliable ideation. Short-form dominance and demand for real-time signals improve the expected ROI of a subscription that reliably increases reach and saves time. You can differentiate by combining human judgment with AI summarization, vertical sports expertise, and live sports/social data partnerships to deliver higher-quality, platform-appropriate ideas than generic trend tools. The main challenges are building robust real-time pipelines, keeping costs low for a $400 ACV, and cracking distribution in a moderately competitive space—but if you nail retention and speed-to-idea you have a defensible offering.
