From the raw tracking data, SkillCorner creates analytics and visualizations that are used by media, betting operators and professional football clubs. SkillCorner covers about 50 football competitions worldwide, has more than 30 billion data points on more than 30 000 professional players.

The first sport covered by SkillCorner is football (soccer) but the startup recently started working on US football and Basketball.
