What we do

Our Vision

To help humans maximize their athletic potential.

Our Mission

We offer innovative technology and share impactful insights to help athletes perform better.

 

Our core product is a user-friendly software application that offers a wide range of video analysis tools combined with various sensor integrations to help coaches and athletes perform better and improve faster. The goal is to make data and information previously restricted to university and sport laboratories available to teams, coaches and athletes when and where they practice their sports.

Simply put; we offer an all-in-one solution for sports analysis and improvement.

Our brands

Swing Catalyst offers a comprehensive and powerful video analysis software that has been praised by golf and baseball coaches around the world for its user-friendliness.

With our Swing Catalyst Sensor plates and integration with other hardware such as launch monitors, you get the full range of data available in the industry synchronized with your video images.


Following the success of Swing Catalyst and its improvements for golf and baseball, the idea of Motion Catalyst was born, aiming to take the same platform and apply our technology to other sports.

Motion Catalyst will be the all-in-one analysis and improvement solution for sports.

Currently under development and in pilot testing.
