Tarkett Sports builds the world's fields, tracks, and courts. Then the relationship goes quiet until resurfacing. STYL keeps every installed facility connected and transacting, and paying you, with zero upfront cost to you or your clients.
You win the project, install a world-class surface, and then wait years for the next capital cycle, with no window into what happens on that surface in between.
What if every surface you've ever installed kept paying you, and talking to you?
STYL is a commerce and engagement platform for the exact organizations Tarkett already serves: schools, parks, districts, universities, municipalities, clubs and venues.
A value-add bundled with every installation, resurfacing, or maintenance touchpoint. No selling required. Your teams simply introduce it.
No upfront cost, no procurement cycle, no IT project. The facility starts running bookings, registrations, e-commerce, and fundraising on the platform.
A recurring and compounding share on all platform revenue from every client you introduce.

The STYL platform officially launched on September 1, 2026, surpassing an MVP and BETA. The Marketplace is readily available and will be deployed at a justifiable inventory level. The overall vision as it was originated will continue the following trajectory through Phase 2, into mid 2027:
Surfaces → Activities → Participants → Gear → Community
STYL earns a take-rate on the transaction volume flowing through each facility. Tarkett earns a share of that platform revenue, on every client you introduce.
Figures anchored to our signed customers today. Now multiply by every field, track, gym, and court in the Tarkett installed base, the thousands of candidate facilities you already have a relationship with.
An illustrative adoption ramp across the Tarkett installed base. Each location added keeps paying every year after. The base compounds, so the share grows exponentially.
Every booking, registration, and transaction on an installed surface generates insights only Tarkett would hold.
Bookings per field per week is a direct proxy for wear. Predict resurfacing and maintenance timing instead of guessing.
Know when a client's usage justifies the next capital project, and arrive first, with data, before any competitor calls.
See where organized sports participation is growing by region and segment, and aim your sales effort where demand is provable.
Schools vs. parks vs. universities vs. clubs. Comparative activity data across your entire client landscape.
Engagement signals after installation show which relationships are thriving and which need attention, years before an RFP.
Usage records add context to warranty and performance conversations, protecting both Tarkett and the client.
Founding strategic partners lock their revenue-share tier and category position before launch. These terms will not be offered again later.
The sports-surfaces category will have one founding partner. We are bringing it to Tarkett first.
The partnership stands entirely on its own. For partners who want aligned equity upside, a $250,000 Friends & Family round is open ahead of the priced round.
Private placement, by invitation only. Reg D Rule 506(b); not an offer to the general public. Terms as stated in Carta documents. A partner who both distributes and holds equity participates in the growth twice.
Tarkett would experience risk-free gains after succesful client handover, and would be able to share more in their clients' overall success..
To Tarkett and to every client you introduce. Fees occur only on transactions, where you're earning.
No IT project and no system replacement.
Every installed surface becomes an annuity instead of a memory.
Utilization, renewal timing, and demand mapping no competitor in the category will have.
You arrive as the partner who made their facility smarter and more profitable, not just the vendor who built it.
Locked for founding participants.
We're inviting Tarkett to join our strategic alliance! Get in touch with us individually or as a group to learn more. Click on tiles to read founder bios.
MATT SOKOLOWSKIFor over two decades Matt has built teams to execute on forward-thinking design, marketing and technology solutions for a wide range of clients and industries. He led all global online community initiatives for Microsoft’s 1st party XBOX titles, where his team was the first to port XBOX Live’s data pool to the web in realtime for auctions, tournaments, leaderboards, etc. They were concurrently working with Verizon on a series of viral marketing campaigns set in NJ to support regional expansion, while also working with a pro surf tour in its formative stages. Their end-to-end strategy drove growth from 6 events in 4 countries, to 20 events in 15 countries in a 4 year period, where they were ultimately designated as an Olympic (IOC) surf qualifying tour.
His team built a custom event registration system for Agenda Show, the leading B2B streetwear/lifestyle trade show, and helped them scale from 5k to over 850k attendees across two acquisition periods. He was Co-Founder/COO for Accru, an online direct-to-consumer wine selling and compliance platform. He also guided wineries in expanding their club and private label offerings in the US, Italy and New Zealand. Matt was brought in to lead front-end engineering efforts for the DTCC to consolidate their portfolio of financial risk, clearing, settlement and liquidity applications. For Microsoft and DTCC, Matt was simultaneously tasked with teaching front-end coding to FTE design teams and vetted their work for quality assurance before development hand-off.
Matt is Program Director and Varsity Head Coach for Shoreline LFP Lacrosse, a K-12 non-profit. He guides fundraising in support of need-based financial assistance, and in the offseason coaches high school teams for Cityside Lax, the premier elite travel lacrosse program in the Pacific Northwest.
Matt was raised in Moorestown, NJ and graduated from Skidmore College with a Bachelor of Science in Interaction Design. He played lacrosse there and was a Liberty League Rookie of the Year nominee. Matt lives in Seattle with his wife and has a daughter who is a cellist at Skidmore College. His son is playing lacrosse at Division I Canisius University, who he had the opportuntity to coach from 2nd grade through to graduation.
JAMES TRAYNORJames has spent nearly twenty years in the sports facility construction business, the last decade with Tarkett Sports as Northwest Sales Manager for Beynon Sports. In this role he has managed the Oregon team and has overseen the successful execution of hundreds of projects representing millions in revenue. Before Beynon, he spent nearly six years at AstroTurf, first as Project Manager for the Mountain West Region and then as Northwest Regional Sales Manager covering Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. That path, project management first and sales second, is why he approaches every job from the field side; understanding how these facilities actually get funded, procured, built, and closed out, not just how they get sold.
Today he works with school districts, municipalities, and athletic programs across Oregon and Washington on running tracks, synthetic turf, and full facility construction. James has led the entire process from early budgeting and cooperative procurement , through to installation and warranty.
James began his career in banking in Seattle, holds a bachelor’s degree in Business/Technical Management from DeVry University, and serves on the board of Bend FC, where he provides governance and strategic oversight with a focus on capital projects. A Whidbey Island native, he now lives in the Bend area with his wife, son and daughter.
