Strategic Partnerships Nine13sports has a track record of forming collaborations with schools, food banks, faith-based and community organizations (Liberty Grove Schools, Gleaners/Second Helpings/Indy Hunger Network, Project Transformation, Indy Parks & Recreation). This indicates a ready pathway for program expansion through district-wide or community-based partnerships that could be leveraged to scale Kids Riding Bikes and related STEM and Explore Indy initiatives.

Program Portfolio The organization operates a diversified suite of youth programs centered on health, fitness, bikes, and STEM integration (Kids Riding Bikes, Kids Building Bikes, Kids Riding Bikes-STEM, Explore Indy). This breadth presents multiple cross-sell opportunities where partners can start with one program and expand to adjacent offerings over time.

Technology Enablement Nine13sports has embedded technology into its turnkey bike programs and employs a lightweight tech stack (HTML5 media, Open Graph, Gravity Forms, Google Tag Manager, analytics tools). This suggests potential for enhanced data collection, progress tracking, and customized digital experiences that can be marketed to districts seeking measurable health and STEM outcomes.

Funding Momentum With revenue between one and ten million dollars and a history of securing grants (notably a $125K grant from Lids Foundation) and ongoing partnerships, the organization demonstrates fundraising efficiency and sustainability. This can be appealing to funders and corporate sponsors when proposing scalable expansion projects.

Growth Opportunities Past expansions and metro-area collaborations (Central Indiana operations, Indy partnerships) show a favorable trajectory for geographic growth. Prospective buyers or partners in neighboring regions may be receptive to piloting or license-like models to replicate Nine13sports’ turnkey bike programs in new communities.
