Story
A few weeks ago, I was searching for marathons happening around the city. I looked on Google, thinking of participating in an event. But most of the platforms I came across felt outdated, cluttered with local and virtual events that didn’t spark much excitement. Worse yet, the bigger, more prominent events—like the Triathlon in Goa, the Decathlon Marathon, or the Bangalore Marathon—were being promoted individually.
Unless you're specifically targeted by their ads or hear from peers, you often don’t know about them until it’s too late. We usually end up finding out through social media posts after the event has already happened.

Challenges
Finding the Most Trustworthy Events: Filtering out unreliable and irrelevant events was crucial. The platform needed to only list high-quality events with verified organizers and a proven track record.
Choosing the Right Platform: One of the core decisions was deciding whether to focus on a mobile app or a web platform. After assessing user behavior, we decided to prioritize a web platform with a mobile-friendly design for broader accessibility and ease of use.
Event Discovery and Searchability: Ensuring that users could easily discover relevant events without feeling overwhelmed was key. This meant designing a clear, navigable platform that could display events in an intuitive, filtered manner.
Incorporating Filters and Features: Users needed robust filters to refine searches based on event type, location, date, and other preferences. Additionally, we needed to ensure that events displayed were high quality, which required a thorough vetting process.
Success Criteria: Success was measured through user engagement, the number of high-quality events listed, and the feedback from users and event organizers about the platform’s effectiveness.

Curated Event Listings: TrueSports carefully vets and handpicks events, ensuring that only the best, most trustworthy options are showcased. This reassures users that they’re participating in high-quality, well-organized events.
A Web-Based Platform with Mobile Optimization: Based on user preferences and ease of access, we focused on creating a sleek, mobile-optimized website. This allows users to explore events on the go without the complexity of an app download.
Advanced Filtering for Event Discovery: To streamline the discovery process, we added a powerful filtering system. Users can refine their search by event type (e.g., marathons, triathlons), location, date, and more, ensuring they find the most relevant opportunities quickly.
User Submissions and Community Building: We enabled a feature where users can notify us about exciting new events they think deserve a spot on the platform. This keeps the event listings fresh and allows the community to contribute while maintaining the platform’s integrity through a vetting process.
Success Criteria: We set clear metrics to measure our progress, such as user satisfaction, the number of curated events featured, and engagement from both users and event organizers.
