Athletes spend 10 years building a career, then send sponsors an Instagram link. I'm fixed that.

Hey everyone 👋 I'm Stan Cosmin, a former competitive athlete turned solo dev.

Here's the problem I couldn't let go of:

An athlete trains for 10+ years. Real results, real sponsors, a real story. Then a sponsor, coach, or agent says "send me your profile" - and the best they can do is an Instagram link, a Word doc, or a screenshot of their results. Something unprofessional that gets ignored.

The tools that exist don't fit:

- Instagram → not professional, buries your results under everything else

- Linktree → just a list of links, has no idea what a competition result is

- LinkedIn → built for office jobs, not a palmarès

- CV in Word → can't be shared easily, can't be scanned at a competition

Athletes lose sponsorships not because they lack results, but because they can't present them.

So I built ProCard - one link that holds an athlete's entire career: competition results with proof, sponsor logos, a gallery, an integrated shop, real analytics, a QR code + PDF export you can hand a sponsor on the spot, and a 3D interactive badge.

I launched, got it wrong (too many features, confusing pricing), rebuilt the whole thing, and simplified it to one Free and one Pro plan.

Where I am now: 60 athletes on it, and this week my first 2 paying subscribers. Tiny numbers - but two strangers paying for something you built alone changes how the whole thing feels.

My real question for this community:

When your product solves a problem people FEEL but don't actively search for, how do you get in front of them? Athletes have this problem every season, but nobody's Googling "athlete profile platform." That's the wall I'm hitting.

Would genuinely love your take. And if you want to see what I mean: pro-card.me 🙏
