Everyrun is a platform that allows anyone to organise races and sports events - connecting thousands of runners and race organisers around the world.
Текущее состояние
Since we launched the platform, it has grown to be a community of 7000 runners and about 30 event organisers.
So far we have been concentrating on B2C market and our growth rate were jumping about 12% with each new event organiser joining the platform. So we are switching to a B2B model and after rebuilding the new platform we are targeting event organisers to ensure constant growth.

The biggest risk for us is the Corona virus and future lockdown, when people are not allowed to meet in the groups even outside. But for this we are preparing a possibility to organise a new format of races, where people can run individually.
The other risk is luck of investment, so we may not be able to move as fast as we would like to, but we are working on achieving BE in a short term to ensure sustainability of the company.
