How it works
One phone. One ball. One hoop.
No wearables, no sensors, no extra gear. Set your phone down and the court turns into a real life video game.
Put the phone down
Prop your phone at any court: the driveway, the park, the gym.
Create your profile
Choose your position, your skill level, and your team. Every game starts exactly where you are.
Play
AthletIQ prompts shots out loud, tracks whether you make or miss, simulates your team and your opponent, then prompts the next shot. You win with real makes. You lose with real misses.
The whole setup: prop your phone near half court on the sideline, screen facing the hoop. That's it.
Full games, full seasons, wins and losses, player ratings, and championships. Play with and against friends, in person or across locations.
The daydream
Do you ever shoot around by yourself imagining you're playing a game in your mind? 3, 2, 1, hit the game-winning shot? We all do it. AthletIQ simulates your imagination, so now you can compete even when you're all by yourself.
The empty driveway becomes a packed arena.
The next rep becomes the shot that decides the season.
For parents
A video game that can't be played from the couch
Every possession, every win, every rating is earned with real shots on a real court.
The couch, the console, and the nag loop lose. Your kid wins.
The phone is the scoreboard and the referee
It sits near half court and the sideline, not in their hands. The screen is never the destination.
Screen time becomes court time
The same pull that keeps kids on a console pulls them to a hoop: games, seasons, streaks, standings, and competition, all powered by real shots.
The game asks for one more shot, so you don't have to
No nagging, no bribes. When practice feels like a game they want to win, kids go get the reps on their own.

Early signals
What the first users are saying
It's tough to get him out practicing, but after one game, he's like "Let me play a second game." And that's tough to do for a dad who's wanting his kid to go out and practice.
As soon as you can layer in competition to kids and gamify that, you actually see the elevation of the skill rise and how hard they're trying to implement that skill.
When I was testing it out, I struggled a little bit from the three-point line. My team ended up losing. And down the stretch when I was missing those crucial threes... I know I was letting my team down. I immediately wanted to play again!
Early users on AthletIQ, in their own words.
The founder
AthletIQ grew out of the experiences that shaped my career: obsessing over reaching my potential as a player and spending countless hours alone in the gym visualizing big moments before they ever happened.

Before you take the shot
iPhone and iPad. Android coming soon.
Roughly age 7 and up. Before your season starts, you take a skill assessment that places you at the proper difficulty level, so the game caters to beginners as well as elite pros.
Any hoop works: the driveway, the park, the gym. Put the phone down where it can see the rim and the game is on.
Yes. At launch, every user has a 7 day free trial. After 7 days, users need to upgrade to our Pro tier for $15 per month in order to have access to the automatic make and miss detection and other features like versus mode. Users can still play for free, but they only get to play three games per week with the manual make and miss detection.
Anytime, in a couple of taps. No contracts, no lock-in. For scale: one private training session runs $60 to $120, and Pro is $15 a month.
Individual Mode and Versus Mode are live right now: real games, seasons, stats, and player ratings. Multiplayer Mode, Live Play, and Shot MetrIQ (Shooting Insights) are coming soon.
Individual Mode: Users can compete against the computer. They can compare their player ratings to others and ultimately compete for a championship.
Versus Mode: Users can play against others in person. 2+ players can compete head to head and play a 7 game series.
Multiplayer Mode: Play on a team and play a full season with 2+ players. Compete against the computer as a team.
Live Play: Play AthletIQ live against other players anywhere in the world.
