Nex Team Inc. is a mobile artificial intelligence company with a focus on implementing AI software into basketball practice in order to provide insight for players and coaches alike. Founded in 2017, this company has made quick work of gaining attention in the sports analytics industry. After launching their cellular app HomeCourt in July 2018, they were able to sign a partnership with the NBA less than a year after. However, their impressive track record does not end there with accomplishments including being named Fast Company's most innovative sports company of 2020 as well as being awarded an Apple Design Award in 2019.
Their patent trends show they have no intentions of being complacent. The company has already had three applications published and one patent granted since the beginning of 2020 with their most recent application publishing last week. With this in mind, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say this company is on a hot streak that might gain the attention of big-name tech giants interested in entering the industry; especially considering the founder of the company has already led one company into a coveted Apple acquisition back in 2008. Could his newest start-up have a similar fate? While no one can know for sure yet, it doesn't take a crystal ball to see that this company has the talent and drive to make it to the big leagues.
