Potential Co-Founder — Asia–Europe Sports Business

I work within professional sport and tennis, and over the past weeks I’ve started receiving and developing conversations with companies and contacts from the Asian market.
These conversations made me believe there may be a real opportunity to build something new around the connection between Asian sports brands and the European market.The idea is still at a very early stage, there is no finished company, no fixed business model and no established team yet.
What exists today is a hypothesis, early conversations and access to the European sports ecosystem.
I’m therefore looking for a potential co-founder based in Hong Kong, Greater China or deeply connected to the Chinese/Asian market, who would like to explore and potentially build this opportunity with me from zero.
The opportunity
The concept is to explore how we can help Asian sports companies grow across Europe through:
European market development
Strategic partnerships
Distribution opportunities
Sports clubs and academies
Athlete relationships
Retail introductions
Brand positioning
Content and creators
Business development
Initial focus could include tennis, racket sports, sportswear, footwear, sports technology and performance products.What I bringI already operate inside the European sports ecosystem and have built relationships across professional tennis, as a mental performance coach, I have worked with multiple professional tennis players, including Top 100 athletes and a former World No. 4.
This has given me access to players, coaches, academies and other people operating across professional tennis in Europe, I also bring the European side of the opportunity: relationships, market knowledge, athlete access, brand development and commercial outreach.
What I’m looking forI’m looking for someone who can bring the other side of the bridge:
Strong knowledge of China / Asian markets
Mandarin and English is mandatory
Understanding of local business culture
Ability to reach brands, founders and decision-makers
Interest in sport, tennis, sportswear or consumer brands
Strong business-development mindset
Entrepreneurial mentality
Comfortable building from zero
I care much more about hunger, initiative and entrepreneurial mindset than an impressive corporate CV at this moment.
ImportantThe purpose is to explore the opportunity together, validate whether there is a real business, build initial relationships and determine whether there is enough traction and mutual fit to create a company together, if the opportunity proves itself, the intention would be to structure a genuine co-founder / founding partner relationship.
If you are ambitious, commercially minded and interested in building a new bridge between Asian sports companies and the European market, I’d be very interested in speaking with you.
