JuniStat is a sports technology company that has developed a digital hub for young soccer players, coaches, scouts, and clubs. Founded in 2020 by Gleb Shaportov and Victor Alekseev, the company leverages artificial intelligence, computer vision, and augmented reality to assess and track player performance. The platform utilizes mobile phone cameras to analyze player movements and provide data on over 60 physical and technical parameters. The core of the service is a talent identification system (TID) that creates digital profiles and ratings for young footballers, increasing their visibility to scouts and clubs globally.
The company's applications, JuniStat for players and JuniCoach for coaches, allow users to monitor progress, receive development recommendations, and compare achievements against an international talent base. This data-driven approach offers an objective tool for talent identification and development. JuniStat serves a global market, with a noted focus on expanding in Europe and Latin America. Its business model appears to operate on both B2C and B2B levels, with players using the app to build their profiles and clubs or academies using the system for scouting and player management. The platform provides clubs with analytical reports on top-performing players.
JuniStat secured $250,000 in a 2020 funding round, which valued the startup at $2 million. In 2022, it raised an additional $310,000 from the venture investor club AngelsDeck to enhance marketing and product localization. The company has established partnerships with football clubs and academies such as Rodina, Strogino, and Rostov for selection programs and has been chosen for the Continental Sports Tech accelerator program.
