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

Founder at Art of Sports

València, Spain

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.
