Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m James Kennedy, Head of Product at OG1. Thanks for stopping by today.
Why we built OG1
Coaching careers are built on moves. Every time a coach or sports professional changes roles, their professional identity stays behind on someone else’s website. The staff bio they spent years earning sits on a directory page that goes stale, or disappears the day they leave. What’s left is a name, a title and a headshot.
That page never shows what matters: how they coach, what they built, the athletes they developed, and who will vouch for them. That information is scattered across old PDFs, text threads and word of mouth. So when an athletic director or head coach tries to understand who someone really is, they piece it together from scraps.
We kept asking one question: why doesn’t the person own their own record?
So we built OG1, the professional identity platform built for sports.
What makes it different
🔎 You don’t start from scratch. We’ve already built more than 100,000 professional records for coaches and sports professionals. Search your name, find your record and claim it.
🏆 Proof, not just claims. Add your career history, coaching philosophy, achievements and media. Then get endorsements from the athletes, colleagues and mentors who can speak to your impact.
🔗 One link for every role. Your profile belongs to you. When you change teams, levels or sports, it comes with you.
🏟️ For athletic departments: one public page that connects your staff’s profiles. The department manages the roster, and each person keeps their own profile.
One decision we care about: claiming should feel like being handed something you’ve earned, not being told your information is wrong. That idea shaped the whole flow, from the first search to how a record looks before anyone claims it.
OG1 is free to join → og1.app
What I’d love from you
If you work in sports, search your name and tell us how close your record got.
If you don’t, tell us what you’d need to see on a profile before you’d trust someone with your program.
OG1 is now on the App Store
A few of you asked about mobile, so here it is. OG1 for iPhone went live this week:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/og1/id6826175388
Coaches don’t live at a desk. They’re on the field, on the bus and on the road recruiting. So we wanted OG1 to fit in their pocket, not only on a laptop.
In the app you can:
Search your name and find your professional record
Build your profile with your career history, achievements, photos and video
Ask athletes, colleagues and mentors for endorsements
Message other coaches and sports professionals, and follow the feed
Get notifications for new messages and activity
Share your profile from the share sheet, and open OG1 links straight in the app
It’s free to download and free to join. It needs iOS 17.2 or later.
We’re only a few days past 1.0, so the App Store doesn’t show enough ratings yet. If OG1 is useful to you, a rating or review helps more than you’d think. If something’s broken or missing, tell me here and I’ll take it straight to the team.
