Stat tracking used to be a clipboard, a whistle, and a parent squinting at the court like they were decoding CIA surveillance footage. But in 2025, SportsVisio isn’t just capturing the game, it’s reading it, understanding it, and feeding that intel back to every coach, athlete, and stat-hungry fan like it’s gospel.
Founded in 2021 by Jason Syversen (Founder & CEO), Samuel Corbitt (COO), and Dan Oblinger (CTO), this Boston-based crew didn’t just stumble into sports tech; they engineered their way in with DARPA-level brains and playground-level grit. Picture PhDs with clipboards turned cloud architects, frustrated by the archaic chaos of youth sports stat tracking. So they did what great founders do: solved the pain by building the thing they wish existed.
And today, they’re turning that frustration into firepower. SportsVisio just closed a $3.2M seed round led by returning champs Sapphire Sport, with continued support from Hyperplane, Sovereign’s Capital, and new believers like Sony Innovation Fund, Mighty Capital, Alumni Ventures, and Waterstone Impact Fund. That brings their total funding to $9.0M, and it’s not just capital, it’s validation from some of the sharpest minds in venture. Strategic angels added fuel, and if you’re reading this wondering if it’s a trend, you’re already behind.
Here’s why: over 16,000 users across 16 countries, more than 150 leagues, clubs, and teams already trust SportsVisio’s AI to deliver instant stats and auto-generated highlights using nothing more than a smartphone. No cameras mounted to rafters. No $50K systems. Just point, shoot, upload, and the app handles the rest. That includes a new “Coach Mode” that breaks down plays like it’s got a PhD in Game IQ (because, well, it does), a complete volleyball analytics module, and even a tailored 3×3 basketball engine that reads faster than half the refs.
And they’re not stopping at hoops and volleyball. With this new round, they’re scaling into baseball, bringing the same vision (literally) to a sport starving for tech that doesn’t require a TV truck. The funds are also fueling global sales growth, boosting cloud capacity, and deepening the AI so hard-to-spot metrics become automatic insights.
Let’s be clear, this isn’t a hobbyist tool with a nice UI. This is PhD-grade computer vision running laps around legacy systems, designed for the future of global sports. Seán O’Connor now leads Revenue & Customer Success, Brian French is steering Engineering, and Alan Arlt and James Sullivan are locking in partnerships and financial ops like a team that knows how to build more than just software; they’re building a movement.
If you’re an athlete, coach, or just a fan tired of post-game guesswork, SportsVisio isn’t the future; it’s the film room that fits in your pocket.
And the tape doesn’t lie.
