StreamU, In Their Words

We knew we had to find the right experts to guide us through this process because we're new to the space. We're extremely grateful for Field Vision's help building a first-of-its-kind go-to-market strategy that will change college sports forever.

The Challenge

A National Moment, and One Shot to Land It

1 No go-to-market plan. A sub-20-person team had a product and a date, with no structured launch, sequencing, or content strategy behind it.
2 A stage that would not wait. The Final Four is fixed on the calendar and unforgiving. The launch had to be right the first time.
3 A new category to explain. Athlete-led livestreaming in the NIL era was unfamiliar to fans, athletes, and press, and needed a story anyone could repeat.
4 Creators as the channel. The whole model depended on athletes showing up and bringing their audiences, which required a content plan built for them.
The Mandate
Turn the Final Four into StreamU's national launch, with a plan a small team can execute under pressure.
The Approach

Build the Launch Around the Moment

We reverse-engineered the launch from the Final Four back: the positioning, the plan, the athlete motion, and the sequencing that would make a small team look national.

The Impact

A Startup That Arrived National

↗

StreamU was built for a real shift: in the NIL era, college athletes own their audiences, and the platforms that serve them grow as fast as the athletes do. By reverse-engineering the plan from the Final Four back, StreamU turned a fixed, high-pressure moment into a national arrival, with a go-to-market and content playbook a small team could run again.
