THE GAME. IN FULL VIEW.
Vantage puts an automatic camera on academy pitches. Every match uploaded comes back as per-player verified data, cut highlights, and drills built from what that match exposed — with no coach staying up on Sunday to score it by hand.

The gap
A sixteen-year-old's career turns on what a coach remembers about ninety minutes he watched from the touchline while managing substitutions. The professional game solved this a decade ago. Everyone underneath it — the academies, the youth leagues, the trial days — is still guessing, and guessing expensively.
The tools that exist were built for the top of the pyramid, priced for it, and only cover the players who are already visible.
Coaches score their squad from memory on a Sunday night. Two coaches watching the same match produce two different sets of numbers, and neither is comparable to last month.
Three hundred players, twenty minutes each, two coaches with clipboards. Selection comes down to who was closest to the ball when someone happened to be looking.
Change club and the record starts over. Nobody owns a continuous account of their own development, so nobody can prove it.
Wyscout and its peers cover the leagues that can pay for coverage. The talent below is unmeasured — which is exactly where the discovery value sits.
Upload to insight
The pipeline runs unattended. A coach mounts the unit, plays the match, and opens the portal the same evening.
A single fixed unit records the full pitch with no operator. Wearable pods are optional — where a club adds them, the camera and the pod are fused into metrics neither sensor can produce alone.
The match is split into a record for every player on the pitch: physical output, touch and pass maps, duels, positioning, plus auto-clipped highlights. Every number is traceable to the second of video it came from.
The club gets a ranked, filterable squad instead of a spreadsheet to fill in. The player gets their highlights, their trend, and drills targeting what this specific match exposed.

The camera goes up once and covers every session on that pitch — the first team, the U15s, and the four hundred hopefuls who turn up in September. Sort and filter the board below the way a coach would.
| Trialist |

The squad arrives already scored on measured output. The coach's judgement goes on top of the numbers instead of substituting for them.
Sort by verified top speed, high-intensity distance, duel rate, or position-adjusted index — and open the video behind any row.
Every cut decision has an evidenced record attached, which matters more each year at youth level.
The same camera serves matchdays, midweek training, and trial days. Cost is amortised across every squad on the site.
Player subscription
Clubs come and go. The record shouldn't. For a monthly fee the player owns a continuous, verified account of their own career — every match, every season, from the first trial onward.
Every touch, duel and goal from the match is clipped and attributed without anyone editing footage.
The system reads what the match exposed — a weak side, late-half drop-off, low deceleration control — and prescribes work against it.
Season on season, position by position, benchmarked against players of the same age band.
One link to a verified record. Scouts and clubs can find a player from past performance and invite them to trial directly.
Discoverability is a switch the player controls. For under-18s, contact routes through a guardian before it reaches the player.
Deceleration control, left side. You reached 31.2 km/h but lost 0.4s on every stop entering the box from the left. Three sessions of braking mechanics are queued, with the six clips that show it.

Every camera we place is a permanent collection point. A few thousand academies, recording continuously, produce something no incumbent has: measured, comparable performance data on players before anyone has heard of them.
Coverage follows broadcast money. It reaches roughly the players who are already scouted, and stops.
The wide base is the defensible part. It compounds with every match recorded and cannot be bought back later.
Recruitment teams search measured output across regions and age bands, then invite players to trial on evidence rather than a highlight tape someone's uncle edited.
National bodies get a live picture of the talent pool they are responsible for — where output is rising, where development is stalling, which programmes work.
More cameras produce more data, which makes discovery worth paying for, which funds more cameras. Every year of history makes the archive harder to replicate.

Business model
Three revenue lines that reinforce each other — the subscription that funds deployment, the consumer layer it creates, and the asset that deployment quietly builds.
Units are leased, not sold — a per-site monthly fee covering hardware, processing, and the portal. Every squad and every trial day on that pitch is included, which is what makes the price easy to justify against one part-time analyst.
Players subscribe monthly to keep their full history, highlights, drills, and a shareable verified profile. Distribution costs nothing: they arrive already inside a club that is recording them.
Access to bottom-up performance data for recruitment and talent planning. It is the same dataset the cameras already generate, sold to a market that currently has no way to see below the professional tier.
Cameras get us into the building and make the data exclusive. A software-only product would be scraping the same footage everyone else can.
The record is theirs and it is the only continuous one that exists. Cancelling means losing the proof of five years of work.
Installed hardware, historical depth, and player-consented coverage are three separate moats. None can be caught up on quickly.
Where we are
Full interactive prototype of the player app and portal, the fusion metric set, and the design system are built and testable end to end.
Units into a first cohort of clubs to validate capture quality, coach workflow, and the hours actually saved.
Turn on the consumer layer inside pilot clubs where every player is already being recorded.
Regional coverage deep enough that a club or federation will pay for discovery across it.
Add dates, the pilot clubs by name once signed, letters of intent, and the raise amount with its use of funds.
Who is building it
Placeholder — replace each card with a name, a role, and the one line of background that makes them the right person for it.
Advisors, and any club or federation relationships worth naming, go here once they are confirmed in writing.
Talk to us
We are raising a pre-seed round to place units into the first cohort of academies. Happy to walk through the prototype, the unit economics, and the data thesis.
