Who We Help

From a first sketch to a product on the market

Inventors

You have an idea for a sports product but need a team to design, engineer and prototype it. We help you turn the idea into something real you can test and show.

Startups

You need a development partner who understands sports. We build the hardware, firmware, apps and cloud platforms behind your product.

Teams & Organizations

You need a custom tool for training, analytics or athlete management. We build specialized technology around how your organization works.

Our Product Development Process

How we take your sports product from idea to production

  1. 1

    Sign an NDA

    Before you share the details, we sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) so your idea stays protected.

  2. 2

    Discovery & Concept

    We learn about your idea, your goals and your users, and define what the product needs to do.

  3. 3

    Design & Engineering

    We design the product and engineer the electronics, sensors, firmware and software together as one system.

  4. 4

    Prototyping

    We build working prototypes so you can see, hold, test and demo your product.

  5. 5

    Testing & Refinement

    We test in real-world conditions and refine the design based on the results.

  6. 6

    Manufacturing Guidance

    We guide manufacturing in the USA or China to take your product from prototype to production.

Case Studies

Some of the products we've taken from idea to market

Command Trakker baseball smart target with mobile app showing multi-player bullpen scoring

IoT Hardware + Mobile App

Command Trakker

Professional-grade IoT baseball training device

The Challenge

Baseball training lacked real-time, automated measurement of pitching command and control. Coaches needed professional-grade tools to track and improve pitcher performance.

What We Built

A patent-pending IoT smart target with ESP32 firmware and sensor technology, Bluetooth and internet connectivity for real-time data, and a Flutter-based iOS/Android app for data visualization and training programs.

Key Outcomes

  • 23% professional baseball market adoption (7 MLB teams)
  • Multiple D1 college programs using the system
  • Patent-pending sensor technology
  • Real-time pitch tracking and automated command measurement
  • Cross-platform mobile app (iOS/Android)

B2B SaaS Analytics

Pitchgrader

B2B SaaS platform for sports data analytics

The Challenge

MLB teams needed sophisticated pitch analytics beyond basic metrics, and raw ball-tracking data needed to be transformed into actionable insights with advanced visualization.

What We Built

Data pipelines that ingested 13,000+ games and 4.2M+ pitches, feeding the first-to-market 3D flight path analysis platform, with AI pitch detection, a sequence designer, pattern prediction and a comprehensive stats engine.

Key Outcomes

  • 30% MLB market adoption (9 teams)
  • 4.2M+ pitches analyzed across 13,000+ games
  • First-to-market 3D flight path analysis
  • AI-powered pitch detection, pattern prediction and sequence design

Athlete Recruit Portal AI-powered college sports recruiting platform

AI/ML SaaS Platform

Athlete Recruit Portal

AI-powered college sports recruiting platform

The Challenge

College recruiting was inefficient and fragmented. Athletes struggled to find the right programs, and coaches couldn't discover talent effectively. The market needed a centralized, intelligent platform.

What We Built

A platform serving athletes, coaches and scouts, with AI-powered matching and analytics, advanced search filters, secure profile sharing and messaging, built on a scalable cloud backend using AI-assisted rapid development.

Key Outcomes

  • 2,200+ colleges integrated into the platform
  • 16,000+ sports programs catalogued
  • AI matching and analytics engine
  • Secure profile sharing system
  • Travel team coaches directory and training facilities database

HearGlass smart glasses prototype with custom circuit board built into the eyeglass frame

AR Wearable Hardware

Smart Glasses with Built-In Hearing Aids

AR wearable integrating HiFi hearing aids into eyeglasses

The Challenge

Hearing aids lacked modern UX and weren't integrated with everyday eyewear. Users needed discreet, high-quality hearing assistance with smartphone control.

What We Built

HearGlass smart glasses with integrated HiFi hearing aids: custom PCB and flex circuit design, embedded firmware on Microchip processors, Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity, and an iOS app for control and customization.

Key Outcomes

  • 2 US patents awarded (#9301057, #9380374)
  • Market-ready AR wearable product
  • Bluetooth connectivity and iOS app control
  • HiFi audio quality for speech recognition
  • Discreet integration into eyeglasses

Frequently Asked Questions

Every project is different. Here are answers to common questions.

I have a sports product idea but no design yet. Can you help?

Yes. Many projects start as just an idea. We help you define what the product needs to do, then design and engineer it from concept through prototype.

Will my idea be protected?

Yes. Before you share the details of your idea, we sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to keep it confidential.

Do you build prototypes?

Yes. We build working prototypes of hardware, electronics and software so you can see, test and refine your product before moving to production.

Do you help with manufacturing?

Yes. We guide the manufacturing process in the USA or China, helping you take your product from a working prototype to production.

Can you build both the physical product and the app or software?

Yes. We develop hardware and software together. Command Trakker, for example, combines a smart target with impact sensors and a companion mobile app.

What types of sports products do you develop?

Smart targets and impact detection systems, sensor and IoT devices, custom electronics and embedded systems, products that use AI to analyze video, mobile apps, AI and machine learning analytics, 3D data visualization, and cloud-based platforms.
