What Ryzer does

Ryzer is a cloud-based event registration and management platform purpose-built for the youth sports camp market. Founded in 2006 in Urbandale, Iowa (originally as My Online Camp), the company serves NCAA college coaches, high school athletic departments, professional athletes, and independent camp operators, with a stated footprint of 27,500+ events, 8,000+ coaches and program directors, and 3,000+ college teams. The core product enables organizers to build custom event websites, accept registrations, and process payments through a PCI-DSS compliant stack integrated with Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, and major card networks; it also holds U.S. Patent 9,852,194 covering its event notification system that alerts athletes to relevant upcoming events.

The platform is monetized through per-transaction convenience fees charged to registrants and usage fees charged to organizers, both paid on a pay-as-you-go basis. The TAP (Test of Athletic Potential) add-on, developed in partnership with Dr. Greg Troutwine, layers a 30+ year validated mindset assessment onto the registration flow, classifying athletes into 8 psychological types and producing 12 Performance Trait scores used by professional sports teams and the U.S. Department of Defense. Additional products include Ryzer Connect (athlete resumes and scorecards), Ryzer Verified, and Allianz Registration Protection insurance offered at checkout. Go-to-market is sales-led via Account Executives targeting college coaches, supplemented by a self-serve onboarding path for smaller organizers.

The company operates as a privately held LLC with 11-50 employees, no disclosed external funding, and no parent company or institutional investors identified in the source material. Its technology stack relies on AWS for cloud infrastructure and Stripe for primary payment processing, with the platform maintaining Section 508 accessibility certification and PCI-DSS compliance for handling payment data.
