What Interpodia Technology does

Interpodia Technology, founded in 2009 and headquartered in North Vancouver, Canada, is a cloud-based sports management software company now operating under the Uplifter brand following a 2025 strategic merger. The company provides an integrated platform for National Governing Bodies (NGBs), sports clubs, teams, and event organizers, spanning 35+ sport disciplines and reportedly supporting 4M+ active athletes, 1,500+ clubs and teams, and 200+ governing bodies. It runs a sales-led, demo-driven go-to-market motion targeting decision-makers at sports organizations, and monetizes through a SaaS subscription model organized by customer vertical. Pricing details and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

The platform is structured as four interconnected modules: Grow Participation (website builder, event and membership registration with discounts, waitlists, and eligibility checks), Streamline Operations (identity-based membership management, scheduling automation, integrated payments with sub-merchant and split-payment support, simple admin), Build Community (real-time in-app messaging and email tools), and Drive Performance (skill tracking and customizable data insights dashboards). On top of these modules, the platform exposes sport-specific features including coach and official licensing and certification tracking, club and event affiliation management, digital waiver embedding, and event capacity and waitlist automation. Named customers are concentrated in the Canadian NGB market, including Skate Ontario, Gymnastics Ontario, Cycling BC, Canada Snowboard, Badminton Canada, and Cycling Canada.

The business is funded by a mix of early angel investors (Angel Forum, Conconi Growth Partners in 2011), Canadian accelerators (E-Fund, WUTIF, CDMN Soft-Landing Program in 2019-2020), and the 2025 Uplifter merger. The merged entity has no disclosed institutional investors, PE owners, or public shareholders, and reports 11-50 employees. Geographic delivery is concentrated in North America while the distribution channel is described as global, leaving international expansion as an open lever.
