The Partnership
Players Platform Group (PPG) is building a platform to connect football talent with development opportunities across the UK and beyond. We've been working alongside their team to support growth across several key areas of their business.
Like many businesses, PPG had a clear vision but needed help turning that vision into working infrastructure—the kind that can scale as they grow. Working with Kevin, the focus has been on more than just technical output; it’s about providing the "unwavering support and deep knowledge" required to move from a startup concept to a scalable marketplace.
How We're Working Together
Our partnership with PPG is ongoing and spans four main areas:
Website Development: Building a new digital home focused on clear user experience for player registrations and partner engagement.
Investor Connections: Facilitating introductions to sports tech investors with experience in two-sided marketplace businesses.
Operational Support: Implementing core processes, from registration workflows to partner onboarding, to ensure the "back office" scales as fast as the vision.
Sponsorship Opportunities: Identifying partners that align with PPG's mission to diversify revenue while adding genuine value to the players.
What We’re Learning
This partnership has reinforced the value of embedded collaboration. Rather than advising from the outside, we work directly alongside Kevin and his team to build, test, and refine as we go.
Kevin notes that this isn't just a business transaction, but a catalyst for personal and professional development:
"Michael has a unique ability to not only help scale your business but also to help you grow personally. His insights and dedication make him a tremendous asset... he’s simply a great person to have around—always positive, driven, and genuinely invested in the success of those around him."
The Ongoing Work
Unlike partnerships with a fixed endpoint, this is a continuous collaboration. We believe the best support is flexible and hands-on. By maintaining a positive, driven environment, we ensure that as PPG grows and new challenges emerge, we aren't just solving problems—we’re helping the leadership team evolve alongside the platform.
That's the kind of partnership that makes sense for an early-stage platform: efficient, insightful, and focused on whatever moves the business (and the people behind it) forward.
