While many recruiting platforms rely on outdated databases or expensive consulting services, GRAET is challenging the status quo by providing athletes with the ability to directly control their recruitment journey. The platform’s user interface is designed to make the process seamless, allowing athletes to update their profiles and share highlights with just a few taps.
“As someone who built the MVP of this platform while living in my car, I understand what it means to have limited access to resources,” said Hope, who was named to Forbes' 30 Under 30 list for his contributions to the sports tech industry. “At GRAET, we’re on a mission to break down barriers and give every athlete—regardless of where they come from—a real shot at being seen by the right people.”
In addition to empowering athletes, GRAET is also transforming how agents, coaches, and scouts discover talent. With a growing database of athletes from all over the world, the platform has become an essential tool for industry professionals seeking reliable, easy-to-access player profiles that include stats, highlights, and career history.
“I’ve been in this industry for years, and I’ve never seen anything quite like GRAET,” said an agent from the United States. “Being able to connect directly with athletes and have everything we need—stats, career history, video highlights—in one simple link has changed the way we operate. It's made the recruiting process faster and more efficient.”

As GRAET continues to scale, the company is shifting its focus to supporting athletes and families directly, starting with hockey and expanding to all team sports. In the near future, GRAET plans to introduce features that will enable parents to monitor their child's recruitment journey, giving families even more control over the process. This athlete-first approach is a central part of the company’s vision for the future of sports recruitment.
“We want to empower the next generation of athletes to take control of their careers and make data-driven decisions about their futures,” said Hope. “The days of relying only on outdated recruiting methods are over. Our platform is designed to complement the expertise of agents and scouts by providing a direct, athlete-first channel for visibility and connection.”
