PlaySight, an Israel-based sports activity analysis provider, raised $11 million in funding. Investors include Verizon Ventures and Greg Norman.
Selected in 2017 by Fast Company as one of the “10 Most Innovative Companies in Sports,” PlaySight’s goal is to use both multi-angle video and proprietary analytics to improve on-field performance and connect the next generation of athletes. The company has achieved a dominant position in the tennis marketplace, with its technology powering leading federations, academies, clubs, and more than 40 NCAA tennis programs, including the USTA’s new National Campus and high performance facility in Lake Nona, Florida. PlaySight is also working with top teams across several other sports, including the 2015 NBA Champion Golden State Warriors.
