People at Playback

Hey, I'm Ari! As cofounder and CTO, I've been at Playback since the beginning. It's been an incredible journey and a real joy to watch Playback grow. While we're still a pretty tiny team (<15 people as of this post) we've seen incredible growth as a company over the last few years: a handful of beta testers has grown into a thriving global user base; we've gone from experimenting without broadcast rights to full content partnerships with the NBA, EuroLeague, and other key leagues; and we've evolved our internal processes, codebases, and infrastructure into mature systems built to scale. I'm based in Philly but work closely with team members in NYC, Austin, SF, and beyond. We're excited to be adding another member or two to the team!
