About 785

We are Hudson McCarthy (Harvard Lacrosse) and Matt Higgins (Maryland Lacrosse).

After spending years competing in tournaments across the country, we saw firsthand the frustrations coaches, players, families, and tournament directors face with existing tournament platforms.

We’re spending the summer speaking directly with directors, coaches, and operators to build a better tournament experience from the ground up.

WHY Project 785?

⬛ Built Alongside Directors- Every feature begins with conversations with tournament operators, not assumptions.

⚡ Simple by Design- Tournament information should take seconds—not minutes—to find.

🚫 Ad-Free Experience- No distracting ads or clutter getting in the way of schedules, standings, and brackets.

📱 Built for Tournament Weekends- Whether you're a director, coach, player, or parent, Project 785 is designed to keep everyone connected throughout the weekend.

🔄 Constantly Improving- Every conversation, every tournament, and every piece of feedback helps shape the platform.
