Partners-You-Trust has advised a consortium of investors led by FF Venture Capital and RKKVC on their investment in ReSpo.Vision. DLA Piper advised the founders of ReSpo.Vision on the seed round.

ReSpo.Vision is a Warsaw-based start-up developing a 3D tracking data capture technology. The company uses artificial intelligence to watch and analyze football games to create player and game analytics for sports clubs and to calculate game events probabilities, create visual game trackers, and provide statistics.

FF Venture Capital is a US-based venture capital firm investing in early-stage technology and technology-enabled companies. RKKVC is a Warsaw-based venture capital fund investing throughout Europe and the US.

"The development of our fully automated detailed 3D tracking data capture systems marks a pivotal date for sports and bookmaking industries," ReSpo.Vision CEO Pawel Osterreicher commented. "It opens a new realm of opportunities for data analytics, predictions, and visualizations. Imagine how big of an impact on game understanding and events prediction nuanced player movement data has. And, due to technical constraints, there was no 3D data capture in sports – we operated on what humans could easily distinguish like passes, shots, and the like. Now we can get down to the bottom of it – thanks to our tech."

"With sports analytics and bookmaking tech market predicted growth rates of well above 20% per annum in coming years, ReSpo.Vision is incredibly well-positioned," FF Venture Capital Partner Maciej Skarul added. 

The Partners-You-Trust team was led by Partner Michal Karwacki.

The DLA Piper team was led by Partner Jakub Marcinkowski and Counsel Michal Gintowt.
