Aggregating analytics

Starting a business right out of college might not have even been Elijah Herrick’s first choice. But as many graduates can attest, plans change.

Herrick’s StatStak startup aims to become the new leader in sports analytics as a hub for data for coaches and players. The new company, which is being developed with the help of the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, is part of a more extensive effort to get more small businesses off the ground in Nashville. Herrick, one of StatStak’s three founders and its CEO, created the company to streamline the efforts of athletes and coaches to collect, analyze and break down the stats of athletes in their careers.
