Pixellot

What Pixellot does

Pixellot, founded in 2013 in Petah Tikva, Israel by Gal Oz and Dr. Miky Tamir, develops AI-automated video production and analytics solutions for the semi-professional, youth, amateur, and grassroots sports market. Its core technology uses deep learning and computer vision to track ball and player movement across 19 sports types with 98% accuracy and sub-10ms per-frame latency, employing a patented panoramic capture system with a 5-second predictive latency buffer that enables fully automated broadcast-quality production without human camera operators. The product portfolio includes fixed-installation cameras (Pixellot Show S3, Pixellot Prime), portable cameras (Pixellot Air NXT), specialized multi-camera baseball/softball systems (DoublePlay), a white-label OTT streaming platform, an analytics platform (VidSwap, acquired 2019), automatic highlight generation, and an AI coaching solution co-developed with FC Barcelona. Pixellot has deployed 38,480 systems across 80+ countries and has broadcast over 5 million games to date, producing 2.5 million production hours and approximately 100 million live event views in 2025.

Pixellot operates a Camera-as-a-Service model that eliminates upfront hardware costs for partner organizations in favor of multi-year revenue-share agreements, supplemented by OTT subscriptions (PPV, recurring, day/week/month passes), advertising and sponsorship monetization (VAST video, banners, watermarks, betting integrations), data and analytics services via VidSwap, and international streaming rights distribution. The go-to-market blends direct enterprise sales to federations and broadcasters with an extensive channel partner network including NFHS Network (covering approximately half of US high schools), SportsEngine Play, PlayOn Sports, CBC/Radio-Canada, telecom partners (KT Skylife, PLDT-Smart, Serbia Telcom), and major sports organizations such as MLB, FC Barcelona, ACF Fiorentina, Portuguese Football Federation, Israeli Basketball Association, and Basketball Ireland. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with reported 24-30% discounts for NFHS school packages.

The company has raised approximately $247 million in cumulative funding, including a $161 million Series D in 2022 led by PSG Equity and a $35 million round in January 2026 ($15M equity from PSG Equity plus $20M venture debt). It employs 260+ people and continues to expand geographically with a formal Australia/New Zealand entry announced in November 2025, alongside product expansion via the Air NXT portable camera (July 2025) and Gamecast AI-powered condensed video module (April 2026).

Direct peers

• Veo Technologies: Danish AI-automated sports camera company offering portable and fixed camera systems that auto-produce match footage with little human intervention. Direct head-to-head competitor to Pixellot Show and Air across amateur and semi-professional sports globally.
• Hudl: Lincoln, NE-based dominant provider of video analysis and sharing tools for U.S. high school and college sports. Has invested heavily in AI-assisted capture and analytics, making it the closest U.S. competitor to Pixellot in Pixellot's strongest market.
• Spiideo: Swedish AI-driven sports camera and analytics provider that delivers automated broadcast-quality capture for amateur and professional teams. Overlaps directly with Pixellot's automated multi-sport capture and performance analytics offering.

Adjacent to Pixellot's coaching and analytics layer for professional and academy customers, though wearable-centric rather than broadcast-centric.
