Project overview

Project overview: Sportstats Performance

Equity raise for Sportstats Performance, a sports event timing and athlete data company acquired in 2023. An operating business, not real estate.

Sports Acquisition LLC is a Carbon River Capital syndication. It holds an ownership position in an operating business, Sportstats Performance, not in real estate.

The company

Sportstats Performance provides timing and results for running, cycling, and multi-sport events such as triathlons. West Michigan events on its roster include the Grand Rapids Gran Fondo and the Grand Rapids Triathlon. The company also uses athletic testing equipment to build objective data profiles for athletes of all ages.

The Opportunity

Sportstats Performance is an event timing and athlete data company with more than 30 years in the timing business. It serves more than 400 clients and over 1,000 events a year in 35-plus countries. Third Coast Development, our affiliate, bought the company for its culture, its customer relationships, and its technology.

Carbon River's Approach

Third Coast Development, the development firm led by Carbon River's principals, acquired Sportstats Performance in 2023 and added it to a group of operating businesses held alongside its real estate. Sports Acquisition LLC is the Carbon River Capital entity formed as an equity raise for the company.
