Sporters

What Sporters does

Sporters Italia S.R.L. operates a mobile-first video-lessons platform distributed via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store (package com.sportersitalia), targeting Italian youth aged roughly 13-20. The app delivers 20-episode mini-series produced with elite athletes — including both able-bodied and Paralympic competitors — covering physical fitness, technique and mental strength, framed as an answer to youth physical inactivity (40% of 13-17 year-olds), excessive phone use (44%) and social-media FOMO (51%).

Underlying technology is a standard mobile application with video content delivery, a gamification engine ('Sporters Coins' earned via educational missions), and a user-progress diary; no proprietary algorithms, APIs or SDKs are disclosed, and the only integrations referenced are athlete-content and partner offer relationships. Distribution is exclusively through the two major app stores on a single-country (Italian) basis, with the marketing site sporters.it as the brand hub and UEFA's Michele Uva quoted as endorser.

The revenue model combines subscription-based premium content access with affiliate/referral revenue from reserved partner offers surfaced to engaged users; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The target customer is B2C — primarily inactive and sports-enthusiast youth — with a secondary persona of young athletes seeking elite mentorship. The firm is capitalized at €13,000, operates with 1-10 employees, and discloses no external funding, paying user counts, or ARR.
