L2M – Locus Fit

LOCUS FIT is a sports analytics platform built for paddle sport coaching, replacing general-purpose tools that produce inaccurate metrics when applied to sprint canoe and kayak. This project will validate the platform through a live pilot deployment with a Canadian sprint canoe club, conduct 40+ customer discovery interviews to refine product-market fit, develop a defensible business model and go-to-market strategy, and formalize the venture’s intellectual property position. The expected benefit to the partner organization (Lab2Market Launch / Springboard Atlantic) is a validated case study demonstrating successful commercialization of a student-led, research-informed venture — advancing L2M’s mandate to increase Canada’s rate of research commercialization and innovation talent development.
