Our Story
Where Sports Meet
Simplicity & Joy
Born from one frustrating afternoon and a simple question: "Why isn't there an app that makes playing sports with friends... easy?" Turns out, we weren't the only ones asking.
How It Started
From Frustration to Action
January 2025: A Conversation That Changed Everything
Picture this: a friend venting about organizing their weekly football game. The hassle of tracking who's paid, chasing down money, dealing with no-shows, bouncing between WhatsApp and banking apps...We realized this wasn't just their problem. This was everyone's problem. Every player who forgot to pay. Every host who became an accidental accountant. Every game that almost didn't happen because organizing it felt like a second job.
So we asked ourselves: What if it didn't have to be this way?
The Problem
Facebook groups. WhatsApp chaos. Endless payment reminders. Last-minute cancellations. Sound familiar?
The Lightbulb
One friend, one complaint, one afternoon in January 2025. "Why isn't there a Meetup... but for sports?"
The Solution
We couldn't find it, so we built it. Simple as that.
Our Mission: Keep It Simple, Keep It Fun
We're not here to build the most complex sports platform. We're here to build the one that just works.
Because when organizing a game takes 30 seconds instead of 30 minutes, you get back what matters: time to actually enjoy the sport you love.
For Players
Show up. Play. Pay seamlessly. No awkward money conversations. No mental math. Just sports.
For Hosts
Create a game in seconds. Payments handled automatically. No chasing. No stress. No missing money.
For Everyone
More time playing. Less time organizing. Because sports should bring people together, not drive them crazy.
Our Journey So Far
From napkin sketch to nearly-ready-for-you. Here's how we got here.
January 2025: The Spark
One conversation. One problem. One big idea. What if we could actually fix this?
April 2025: Sketches to Screens
First design mockups created. Turned frustration into interfaces. Made pixels feel friendly.
July 2025: Making It Official
Company established. We're not just dreamers anymore—we're builders with a business plan.
October 2025: Hello, World
First social media posts. After months of hiding in the dark, we stepped into the light. Scary? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.
December 2025: Beta Launch
The moment we've been working toward. Real users. Real games. Real impact. (You can be part of this chapter!)
Built Different
What Makes Harley Different?
We're not another sports app trying to do everything. We're sport lovers who built exactly what we needed.
Purpose Over Profit
This isn't a money grab. We built Harley to solve a real problem, not to chase investors.
We Actually Listen
Built by sport lovers, for sport lovers. We understand your pain because we've lived it.
Built for Community
Sports are better with friends. Everything we build makes it easier to play together.
No Payment Drama
Automatic payments. Instant confirmations. No awkward "hey, you still owe me" messages.
Ridiculously Simple
If it takes more than 3 taps, we redesign it. Complexity is the enemy of fun.
Obsessed with Feedback
Your input shapes every update. This is your app as much as it's ours.
Meet The Team
The Heroes Behind Harley
We're a small team with big hearts and an unhealthy obsession with making sports social again. Here's who's who:
The Dreamer 💭
Sees possibilities everywhere. Asks "what if?" more than anyone should. Believes every problem has a solution—and that solution probably involves sports.
Cindy once said she wanted to build something truly innovative, not just for the sake of tech, but to make people's lives better through real connection.
The Thinker 🧠
Turns wild ideas into actual code. Speaks fluent technical jargon and human. Makes the impossible possible (usually after breakfast).
Michael is the brain behind the system. He's all about turning "what if" ideas into something that actually works (and doesn't crash mid-match).
The Doer ⚡
Makes things happen. Connects dots. Spreads the word. Turns "someday" into "today." Never met a deadline they didn't beat.
And Joey just genuinely loves her job and her team, like the "I'd still show up even if it was Sunday" kind of love.
Our Chief Morale Officer 🐕
Four legs. Unconditional support. Expert at stress relief and mandatory walk breaks. Runs our social media (with supervision). Best hire we ever made.
Latte claims she's behind all our posts, though most of her "content ideas" involve (a lot of) treats and belly rubs.
By The Numbers
We're just getting started, but here's where we're at:
Our Values
What We Stand For
These aren't just words on a page. They're the principles that guide every decision we make.
Build with Purpose
Every feature must solve a real problem. If it doesn't make your day better, it doesn't make the cut.
Create Real Impact
We measure success in smiles, not downloads. In games played, not metrics hit.
Stay Humble, Stay Hungry
We're proud of what we've built, but we're hungrier to make it better. Your feedback drives us forward.

Sports are about people. Technology should bring us together, not pull us apart.
