Word of mouth coming back to me

By Reece

HomeField came back to me the other day!

While waiting for another game to finish, I got to know some of my new teammates on the New York Athletic Club lacrosse team. I started talking with Mike Ammann. We asked the usual questions as we sniffed each other out. "Where'd you play? Where are you from? What do you do for work?" For most guys, you can just fill in the blanks with the following answers.

I played for ___________ (ACC Team/Cornell/Princeton).

I'm from ___________ (Long Island / Baltimore).

I work for ___________ (major finance bank/hedge fund).

So I caught Mike's attention when I said that I was from Cape Cod, I played at Brown and most importantly, that I started a company that handles video for sports teams. He asked, "What's it called?"

"HomeField."

"Yeah, I thought so. I play with the NY Titans, too. We've been using it. It's great."

I was stoked! I had no idea Mike played with the Titans and it was great to run into one of our users (especially a pro). Sure, lacrosse is a tight network; nonetheless, I was psyched to have HomeField come back to me and I'm looking forward to the next time. Maybe it'll be that high school senior training at my gym, maybe it'll be a coach walking by our tailgate at the Final Four, and soon - it could be any super-fan following their team on HomeField.
