The Opportunity
Next phase of expansion — not concept validation
Investor Message
The Opportunity
Federation of Sport has validated its flagship concept through the successful launch of its Hull venue — £1.6M+ invested, 12,400+ visitors and £320K+ revenue in under six months.
The Series A investment is intended to accelerate expansion into additional company-owned venues, strategic hospitality partnerships and franchising, while funding the development of a proprietary technology platform to support long-term scalable growth.
This investment represents an opportunity to participate in the next phase of the company's expansion — not to fund concept validation.
