My name is Robbie Allen and I'm the sole founder and developer of StatSheet.com. I'm a long-time sports fanatic and web entrepreneur.

The major sports websites have yet to embrace the web as a platform for presenting and visualizing stats. It is time for a fresh perspective and my answer is StatSheet.com. In the short time since this site has been active I've created some interesting features, but I've only scratched the surface compared to what's coming.

My goal is simple
I aim to be the favorite online destination for sports fans. Initially I've focused on men's college basketball, but I plan on moving into other sports over time. My primary limitation is gaining access to quality stats. Know of any good sources for a particular sport? (free or inexpensive is preferred)

Can I really do this alone?
In a word: No! I've conceived and developed the site by myself, but I'm definitely standing on the shoulders of the crowd. I'm re-using a lot of open software to present data in interesting ways. Several volunteers have stepped forward to offer stats, ideas, and corrections, which have improved the site immensely. Over time as I make the website more social, I intend to offer even more ways for people to contribute. I'm open to any and all ideas. Email or IM me.

How will StatSheet.com make money?
Great question! Much like StatSheet itself, this continues to be a work in progress. I'm working on several options now and the path to profitability is clear. My ultimate goal is to make StatSheet.com a sustainable business that can support a small staff. I've already had 3 people ask to be employees #2-4. Are you interested in being employee #5?

Is StatSheet.com a Web 2.0, social networking, Ajax-enabled mash-up?
Actually it is for some definitions of those terms. But I don't like those labels. Many "Web 2.0" or "Social Networking" startups focus on being just that. They are all buzz and no meat. I'm trying to make StatSheet.com mostly meat. My focus is to create a compelling experience and add social networking and other web 2.0 concepts as it makes sense instead of hoping a bunch of people will come to the site for the sole purpose of creating a profile and writing on each other's wall (that's a facebook reference for you old timers).
