The Sports Tank Innovation Studio’s demo day during the NBA All-Star Weekend spotlighted five startups representing the breadth of sports technology’s fast-growing areas.
The companies, which pitched in front of an audience of industry executives, investors, and professional athletes, touched on esports, data technology, sports betting and gaming, artificial intelligence, fan engagement, and the use of biomechanics to enhance player performance.
The five presenting startups were selected from more than 300 applicants. Three of the five walked away with awards.
“Coming to events like this is where you see the grassroots of what’s going on and hopefully catch the next big thing at Sports Tank,” said Amish Shah, co-owner of esports organization Rogue Sports, in a press release from Sports Tank.
