Delivering Insights to the Global Sports Community

Stats Perform is changing the game with artificial intelligence and machine learning.

As a global leader in sports intelligence and a data partner to teams in the NBA, NFL and MLB, Stats Perform is in the business of helping sports teams win. STATS Edge, the Company’s artificial intelligence-assisted software, pairs event data with video to enhance match preparation. STATS Edge analyzes a team’s performance, comparing playing styles and formations during matches to deliver deeper insights and smarter strategies.

The idea behind STATS Edge is to give the end-user the ability to find meaningful insights from a game.
