Problem
In most industries, recruitment has been digitized and standardized, enabling stable talent acquisition. However, the sports industry, especially soccer, hasn't achieved this, despite over a century of professional history.
For international player transfers, clubs and players still rely on third-party agents and personal networks. Soccer is a global sport with vast opportunities for both players and clubs, but current processes limit access, leading to missed chances.
Moreover, developing superstar players is key for clubs, yet scouting still relies on offline methods, limiting the talent pool.
Product
Therefore, we need standardized technology-enabled recruitment
systems to ensure clubs have efficient and consistent recruitment
processes without relying on 3rd party intermediaries.
DSFPRO is a talent discovery and international transfer platform for club teams. Essentially the soccer version of Indeed, Glassdoor or LinkedIn, it caters to both pro clubs and academies looking to discover new talented players as well as pro players looking to play internationally.
Clubs can search for and view detailed profiles of 1.2 million screened players and directly approach them.
The key functions of DSFPRO:
By using DSFPRO, clubs can standardize their recruitment processes and create highly replicable team-building strategies
Without relying on agents with strong networks, clubs can take control of the international transfer market for professional players. In addition, DSFPRO streamlines the discovery and development of young talent, allowing clubs to manage players as valuable assets. This creates a positive cycle between the professional team and the academy, leading to the formation of stronger clubs.
Traction
More than 20 players from the DSFPRO database successfully completed international transfers to Asia and Europe, generating JPY 40 million in revenue and validating our Product-Market Fit (PMF).
In South America, 78 clubs are actively using the platform, contributing to the construction of a database with 1.2 million players. We have also expanded our services to Asia and Europe, marking the beginning of our growth phase.
Customers
South America produces the most soccer players in the global soccer market. Thus, acquiring those clubs as customers to use DSFPRO will build a player database that is desired by the global market, especially European and Asian markets.
Right now, the service is offered free of charge to recruiters of clubs in South America, allowing for the collection and management of information on talented players from South America.

With this strong database of 1.2 million players, we can strategically target European and Asian clubs with high demand for South American talents. This positions us to make a bold entry into the $10B international transfer market, as valued in 2023.
Business model
For $5,000 per month, clubs can access all professional and academy features with unlimited player acquisitions. Alternatively, there is a commission-based option where 10% of the total contract value is paid for each player acquisition.
Starting in 2026 or earlier, we plan to introduce additional revenue streams, including:
- Subscription model for players and agents
- Advertising fees and e-commerce opportunities for sports brands leveraging DSFOOTBALL APP userbase
These new revenue sources will unlock even greater potential for growth, enhancing the value of the platform.
Market
DSFPRO: In addition to the club subscription model, as we scale to a worldwide recognition by clubs, we will also start subscription for players.
DSFOOTBALL: Once we reach a larger scale in users, the e-commerce revenue and advertising will turn into a solid upside revenue stream.
In combination with these points, we analyze our target revenue for the mid to long term to reach $1.3B per year.
Funding
Raised JPY600M (~$5M) from leading investors, including major Japanese sports brand ASICS, top Japanese venture capital firms ANRI and Genesia, and angel investors like Japanese national soccer player Yuto Nagatomo, and others.
Vision and strategy
$7M ARR expected within 2 years

Pricing
Efficiency and transparency lowers total cost and procedure.
The yearly cost for a club generally is around $262,000+. However, with DSFPRO, the cost is lowered by 75%, to only $60,000.
Lower costs, with access to vastly more professional players and the ability to directly negotiate with player agents.
