Basketball Stats From One Phone Video: Their $3.5M AI Pivot | Cordelia King, Superstat
Basketball stats used to require a scout in the gym. Now one phone video gives every player full box scores and highlights, and the team behind it is leaving Melbourne for Austin.
Cordelia King co-founded Superstat after her first company — the Herald Sun called it "Tinder for local sport" — kept attracting players who lied about how good they were. Thea and Cordelia talk about the Australian football model that failed before basketball worked, the stretch when nobody took a salary, and why American football is next.
For: sports tech founders, computer vision engineers, and curious sports parents.
About the show
Founders in Motion is the founder podcast that catches them before they're famous, when the pivot might not work and the real story is still being written. Hosted by Thea Ngo, a Wharton grad, venture capital investor, and (your new favourite?) interrogator. New episodes every Thursday.
