About us

Our mission? To revolutionise the way sports use their content.

Founded in 2021, ScorePlay is the first all-in-one media hub designed for sports by sports. Our AI-driven software helps sport organisations automatically manage, distribute & monetise their photos and videos on one single platform in order to enable their visual storytelling and grow their online brand and reach. The AI tags content automatically using facial and text recognition, which automates both classification and distribution.

Over 100 organisations from around the world, including Volleyball World (FIVB & CVC Partnership), West Ham & Wolves (Premier League), AS Monaco (Ligue 1), Real Sociedad (La Liga), 1. FC Köln (Bundesliga) Orlando City SC (MLS), Ironman (Triathlon), The Amundi Championship (Golf), Freeride World Tour (Ski freestyle), Stade Rochelais (Top14), Stade Français (Top14) and Vitality (Esports) use ScorePlay daily to manage and distribute their content.

We’re growing

We’ve raised 1.5 million to date (pre-seed), including Kevin Durant’s fund 35V, APEX Capital, and early-stage VCs, Kima Ventures and Another.vc - as well as leaders of the industry - Nicolas Julia (CEO Sorare), Mario Götze (German World cup champion), Omar Da Fonseca (Former PSG/AS Monaco player & BeIn commentator). We will be closing our first seed round in the next 2 months, as we aim for another $3-5M as we grow in the US.
