 Spend some money and help me. How are y'all doing? Yes, sir. First of all, welcome to the trap slash black market because it dumps open Introduce yourselves, you know to our black market shoppers and 85% is a shit. Yes. I'm just calling them the Williams brothers So I'm Hermione Williams. I'm the oldest. I am CEO of lock shark and I'm also the co-founder of the checkup app My name is Ari Williams 26 years old Chicago, Illinois Also the co-founder checkup and CTO Hell yeah, you can tell them some more shit. I got a whole bunch of notes Go ahead. All right. Make sure you get all the points My first business is called lock shark. Okay. Yep I created this anti-theft GPS protective case that basically locks on to tablets or phones So if the phone dies or the battery is dead locks on to the device has a GPS tracker in it So that was my first business and then after Ari had graduated from Barry University got compute computer science degree Kind of had idea that amen like there's really no basketball app for the people like for these real basketball players I mean what really pissed me off was this company called hoop hoop maps that was on Shark Tank They were two brothers, but they never played basketball in their life. So it was just like We need to start this right they didn't just have all the essentials that a real basketball player needed like what like what? So they have fine nearby basketball, but they didn't really have What basketball players want we know that you could find nearby basketball, but who's actually hooping in this area? We have our little YouTube channel. What basketball stuff you need to know to get better at your game They didn't have those and are you actually a Hooper? That's another thing that kind of Set it off for me because my background is computer science. He said I graduated But I got the idea like the last Semester of school and we had to march madness when the tournament stuff like that had a final do So we ended up turning my final to our first app being check up and then from there just developed the app by ourselves bootstrapped it and Since there's been four years now. I bet it hit In the first year, I bet it hit 3,000 users. Then now we're our second version right now in the app store Tell me a little bit more about that like working you so I can say I downloaded the app and I'm on there Yeah, it's gonna be the first thing I see first thing you see will be the map and you will see all the nearby Basketball courts in your area. So whether it's somebody has an event there or somebody checked in you always be notified Right there who's actually playing. We got you there So you can just be chilling in your phone and jump off. They like oh nigga They checked in or the events right there next door. We all ranked the courts and shit Yeah, most people we fall by court. So Users follow the courts and whoever's has the most followers the court ranks higher. Oh, what's been like your biggest struggle? We're getting the info for the app I would say I mean just the progress the bootstrapping. I mean if we right now is about it's just us So all right now just the data stuff we get the data now all thing not only thing right now Just right in the market. How do you like say for instance you own the app? Can you like register a court? Like some shit doesn't maybe not be on that. Yeah, you can create a court Create a court So if it's like you got a court at the crib and you like I dare more for the pull-up, right? Yeah, say if you want to probably say if you plan on having a 2k 22 event at your house He like pull up. It's basketball related. You can do that on the app. Bring everybody there It could be a tournament to be training. You may need time a basketball related event But y'all linked up with the WNBA yet You know see tonight as well You don't see tonight tonight, but we have a little we have info but I'll say that we got to keep working But yeah, we're almost there or y'all should just have one section for old niggas. We want to play half We got the skills and there's for the old Joe's and the pros too, so it's for everybody Is it like a social network about hard bro old-school league? No fast break you gotta wait on everybody Ain't no fast break. I wait Dribble in it No cherry picking Only spot shooting One shot minimum You gotta get out the way That's probably worth shit as a hooper though. You get a wide open shot though. Nobody try to car Let him shoot that There's some hoopers in Mississippi. Yeah, yeah I'm talking about the thing in Mississippi though is like if you go to somebody career and they got like a homemade court You will never beat them on their court Ever ever You will miss so many shots. You will think that the fucking ball don't even fit this room It only work for them. Yeah, I ain't really never played on on the tree Like a full court with the rim on a tree The crate. Yeah with the plywood. Yeah, I create a great basketball in the city But when I don't treat a part of the building but great basketball hit different when the ball is naked like the ball smooth Yeah, it's a war out ball, but it's airing up. That's that's when you create ball Hell yeah, they just build a court anyway You got a court. I got a hoop For my son You who he oh, it's on third chain That's right. That's a good age. You taught him how to hoop. Can you hoop is the real question a little bit? Yeah, I saw you know like once I saw like what a hoop a while. I played basketball Because different type motherfuckin niggas who wear basketball shorts under all the clothes I wouldn't like wouldn't like that Yeah, I think I gave up on hooking when something we had this a you team You know how sometimes like a team don't show up and then they split the team just to keep the shit going So I ended up on the team that got split from the team and we had like seven motherfuckers this seven And like the rotations was ugly And then we won one game and then we had to play the motherfuckers who's beating everybody like we do Our little layup line with seven motherfuckers, you know, it's three motherfuckers over here It's four motherfuckers over here. Then they show up with a full squad It's like 14 of them. Mm-hmm. And then they got these three motherfuckers who like six six They were doing they layup they grabbing the rim and shit. I'm like, oh Niggas we 13 these niggas is ducking That's all right, they don't get nigga like yeah, I'm like they jumping over the rim and just dropping the ball in I was like boy this shit different grown man shit You was what the shit out of us. Yeah, I'm missing them. Hey, you guys was on that backcourt that game wasn't nobody watching. Yeah The dark boy That shit was hell. Yeah, I get it You played that shit. Are you? Guess who was my old basketball teammate who I can a a mind shumper hell no See, that's when you know when you end up playing with one of them motherfuckers like that who going to the NBA regardless Yeah, you're right. That's when you know, you're right. They wouldn't let you be different Like that's why I quit playing football once I know once I figured out some motherfuckers It's just born athletes like they grandfather's and shit was athletes. Mm-hmm. They think it's be built different Yeah, I seen a nigga drop his head like his helmet got knocked off at practice and then they kept going and a nigga try to hit him And he hit him anyway. I was like Fuck this shit no rest. I'm good at other shit Who'd you play ball at? Shump, so I'm sure though. Yes One dance with the stars to hell. Yeah, he can dance. That's a Chicago JP Jabari I saw him two days ago at the semi-final I grew up with him played a ball in the same team with him. They don't know Wildcats in a few years So good to connect with him, but see that's Benji. Yes, Benji D rose D rose. Yeah. Yeah It's good vibes off saw in the same city. Yeah, so grew up with them playing air you balls well, so Everybody around yeah Bro, what's this what's it like the sports scene like in Chicago because it's like so much violence and shit You don't want to be on the court who better than you gotta play against the ops. Yeah The game gonna be over at some point I Mean everything's indoors now. Thank God. I mean it's too cold outside So we've got some type of security. I mean, but it runs be the runs be the runs. I mean, it's the Mecca, so I mean Nobody gonna back down. Yeah, I mean I moved out to Texas and I Dallas there's some hoopers down there But what we in the middle of nowhere in Lubbock, West Texas where Texas Tech is out Yeah, that's them. That's what a real hoop is a shit cuz it's hoops everywhere, bro No, for I'll never discount nowhere You fuck around and meet one of them West Texas legends nigga like the nigga was on his way to the lead But he went to jail for armed robbery or some shit that nigga will get you 72 in the first hand Don't get me wrong They got hoopers there, but they just need more and you just need more talent. I want you in a big Metroplex You can you can get a go against anybody. Yeah, so what's the best way to like like the like the most success y'all had of Like getting people to the app I'll say these events. So we host a lot of different runs a different life this pick up basketball a Like guess celebration the takeovers and usually kind of about two hundred and a hundred people try to pull up have For run up to run a couple games have come a big out first come out You know record stuff like that edit off and ship it out. But right now it's more just partner with People want to get you know, basketball influencers event hosts gyms and kind of fill up their courts and kind of fill up the activity So yeah, shout out to filet cuz he really yeah filet was our first When we went out to Los Angeles for the NBA All Star All-Star game We ended up we ended up sneaking into the Snoop Dogg and what was it? Who's gonna play games to change event in LA? How you sneak in? Just kind of walk through that bit We had our camera everything you know suits on you know I thought we was media we walked past and We got there right before the all the police kind of was showing up and they were teaching all the police Kind of lined up right before so thank God we got before that but then you this the trick to doing that Do you just got to act like you're supposed to be there right anytime you go to an event? Even if you just put the name of your company on your media pass. I'm like what I think it's 85 media We're supposed to be here. All right. Okay bet. So I'm gonna do the footage Come on man, you know, we're not even on those shit like they it's media, bro Got nothing sale look at my bag ain't that for sale?

Yeah, we're taking Let them know sir soon as we get this hoop abjunct off this summer coming up I don't know where they hoop in that come on. It's gonna be on them. Let you know I might know who but I might pull up There's some look we need to tell my little so we partnered with the company called no and This company allows it's called. No, it's called.
