LEETZ

The Platform Overview

LEETZ (which derives from ath”LEETZ”) is an athletic-networking platform. The platform features numerous tools to support local, athletic individuals. The ultimate mission of LEETZ is to establish and nurture a community of dynamic people and athletic activities.

The platform is presented and revolves around the website

The arms of the LEETZ consist of the following:

Mobile App

The mobile application (“app”) is for users (referred within the app as “LEETZ”) can connect with other users who are interested in meeting and participating in physical activities with local, active people. The app has revolutionized the process of finding other people with similar interests. Additionally, the app allows users to create/find athletic events and activities happening in the area. Whether looking for a marathon-training partner, a friend to attend a local yoga class, or organizing a local pick up basketball game, LEETZ provides users with the platform to do so.

The app differentiates between the “LEETZ” (users) and the “MEETZ” (athletic events).

The first level of the app allows for users to search for other LEETZ with similar interests. Users can profile themselves, list their activities of interest, create athletic events (referred to as “MEETZ”) that can be viewed by other users, and connect based on location. The second level of the app allows users to create athletic events (referred to as “MEETZ”, which can range from attending a yoga class at a local gym to organizing a game of pick-up stickball in a city street.  Users list the various MEETZ characteristics for the event and click create.  The event will then be available to other users within the desired search parameters in the Search MEETZ section of the app.. Users can perform two types of searches: a search for other users (LEETZ) based on common interests (profile match, plus age aasearch criteria) OR a search for MEETZ within a certain distance of current/home location.   Each search will present users with a pop-up of search results – either other LEETZ or MEETZ – that can be accepted or declined.  LEETZ matches will require both users to accept and will then present a group chat option.

As an additional measure of verification and for user safety, LEETZ have the option to verify themselves by connecting to their LinkedIn, Facebook, and/or Google+ accounts.

Social Media

LEETZ provides a touch point where users can connect their various social media sites. In doing so, users can provide more information, share their LEETZ activities/profile, and further verify themselves as a member of the community.

Team Sponsorship

LEETZ offers sponsorship for select users that apply and qualify for the opportunities. LEETZ sponsors local teams ranging from local co-ed recreation sports teams to the highest levels of amateur sports. Users need only to complete an application through the LEETZ website to be considered for the sponsorship.

Apparel

The LEETZ brand is customized specifically for the users. The same gear that is used to sponsor teams is available for sale through the website. The technical nature of the sportswear is designed to create an affordable option for the users that also has the quality and design of competing gear.

Promotional Items

Through partnerships with leading sport/fitness/athletic companies, LEETZ offers exclusive discounts on items hand-picked for the users. The promotional items range from apparel to equipment to tickets to sporting events. Users can select an option within the edit profile section that provides the options to receive a weekly or monthly mailing e-mail that will provide special discounts to LEETZ brand gear as well as special offers from other companies that offer products that would benefit the users.
