SportsVisio, a developer of sports analytics software, announced $3.2 million in incremental funding, bringing its total capital raised to $9 million. The round includes continued support from existing investors Sapphire Sport, Hyperplane, and Sovereign’s Capital, and adds Mighty Capital, Sony Innovation Fund, Alumni Ventures, Waterstone Impact Fund and new strategic angels.
SportsVisio uses computer vision and deep learning applications to allow players, observers and coaches to film games using a phone on a tripod and have statistics automatically tallied. SportsVisio’s platform also offers highlight-creation tools.
SportsVisio said the addition of Sony Innovation Fund as an investment partner is particularly beneficial.
“At Sony Innovation Fund, we invest in technologies with the potential to reshape industries — and SportsVisio is a perfect example of that,” said Austin Noronha, managing director, Sony Ventures in the U.S. “Their AI-driven platform delivers professional-grade tools to youth and amateur athletes, transforming how sports moments are captured and shared. We’re excited to back a team that’s expanding access to high-quality sports content and empowering the next generation of athletes.”
Jennifer Vancini, general partner at Mighty Capital, added, “At Mighty Capital, we invest in products that people love — and SportsVisio is a perfect example. They’ve combined cutting-edge AI with an intuitive user experience to create a product that athletes, coaches, and leagues rely on. Their rapid adoption and deep engagement are clear signals of long-term value, and we’re thrilled to partner with them as they transform how sports are experienced and shared.”
This funding is expected to support sales and marketing growth initiatives, as SportsVisio scales its offerings across basketball and volleyball and new sports like baseball for amateur, youth and professional sports organizations around the world.
“We’re thrilled to have the continued backing of Sapphire Sport and Hyperplane, and to bring on these new partners,” said Jason Syversen, founder and CEO, SportsVisio. “This funding and strategic guidance will help us to expand on our mission to provide smarter, AI-driven solutions that help teams and players win—on and off the court.”
SportsVisio supports more than 150 leagues, clubs, and teams and 16,000 users throughout 16 countries.
