Pilot studios, sports clubs and research partners for an AI movement coach

About
Art of Sports builds an AI coach for sports and dance studios. It works with a single phone camera and no special hardware: it tracks the body on the device, compares the execution with the method the teacher has chosen and speaks the correction the way a teacher would. Studios use it as a teacher assistant in class; students take the same coach home in an app. The first curriculum is ballet, the method applies to boxing, barre, children's classes, adaptive sport and training for 65+. A working prototype is in use and a pilot runs in a children's class at a partner school in Frankfurt. Founder: Oksana Hoffmann, who built and ran twelve ballet and sports schools in Germany over 15 years. We are looking for: 1) studios, dance schools, sports clubs and fitness operators in Portugal and Spain who want to pilot the teacher assistant in one class; 2) research groups in motion analysis, sports science or educational technology for a joint validation study (agreement between app and teacher) and possible Horizon Europe consortia; 3) early-stage investors for our EUR 500k pre-seed round.
