We create software that helps coaches win, athletes look like pros, and sports recruiters find more talent. Teams upload their game film to our site, study it, and "break it down" by adding text notes, ink telestrations, and tagged metadata. Athletes can study the video on their mobile devices throughout the week to prepare for their next game. If an athlete notices a great play, he or she can highlight it to appear on a public profile for fans, parents, and recruiters to see. Recruiters have access to thousands of games, highlights, player profiles, and academic information.

As the super-platform for non-professional football in Europe, we bring pro-level experiences (news, data, gamification) to the mega community of +190mn football fanatics in the non-pro ecosystem.

Every cycling app will tell you how a ride felt. None of them will tell you, honestly, how well you executed it. Klizmo is built for power-meter cyclists who declare a plan — a zone target, a workout structure — and want to know afterward whether they actually held it. Not an estimate. Not a motivational nudge. A deterministic Discipline Score, calculated the same way every time, with no AI or machine learning in the scoring path. If the data isn't there, Klizmo shows "—," never a guess. We call it a referee, not a coach. Klizmo doesn't praise you, compare you to other riders, or tell you what to do next ride. It calls the ride as it happened — Overpaced Start, Late Fade, Zone Spike — the same way a race referee calls a violation: factually, without commentary. This is a deliberately narrow bet. We're not chasing the mass fitness audience or the social feed. We're building for riders and clubs who already train by the numbers and want a precise instrument for judging their own execution, not another platform trying to keep them engaged. Currently in alpha with power-meter cyclists ahead of public launch.
