Sleip AI

What Sleip AI does

Sleip AI AB is a Stockholm-based, privately held company that develops an AI-powered computer vision platform for objective equine gait analysis, distributed primarily as an iPhone application with a browser-based team workspace add-on. Its technology tracks more than 115 keypoints on a horse's body from standard smartphone video and measures vertical displacement asymmetries at the head, trunk, and pelvis with stated 2mm precision, validated against gold-standard motion capture systems using reflective markers. Domain-specific features include an industry-first anatomical scaling method, automated compensatory pattern detection based on the Law of Sides biomechanical principle, multi-limb lameness analysis, trunk asymmetry data, and PDF and secure-weblink sharing for collaboration with clients and specialists.

The product is sold as subscription SaaS across four tiers: Sleip Pro Vet for equine veterinary practices, Sleip Pro for equine care professionals, Sleip Remote for horse owners, and Sleip Desktop as an enterprise add-on for clinics, researchers, and regulatory bodies. Customers cited in source materials span individual practitioners, premium equine clinics (Tierklinik Lüsche, Rossdales Newmarket, Brazos Valley Equine Hospital, John R. Steele & Associates), academic institutions (Cornell University), professional equestrians, and high-profile regulatory and racing organizations including the British Horseracing Authority and Hong Kong Jockey Club. Go-to-market combines product-led growth via a 14-day free trial and iOS App Store self-serve (4.8/5 rating), with sales-assisted enterprise engagement including AAEP 2025 booth presence, webinars, and educational courses co-developed with biomechanics experts from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.

Sleip reports cumulative platform usage of more than 1,000,000 gait analyses across 150,000+ horses in 50+ countries. The company is founded in 2020, headquartered in Stockholm under organization number 559234-1910, GDPR-compliant, and privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, or revenue figures.

Core offering

Sleip AI sells AI-powered equine gait analysis software delivered through an iPhone app and browser-based desktop workspace. Users record horses in motion with a smartphone, and Sleip's computer vision technology tracks 115+ anatomical key points to measure head, trunk, and pelvis asymmetries at 2mm precision, surfacing subtle lameness patterns invisible to the human eye and supporting clinical, training, regulatory, and remote-monitoring workflows.

Product overview

Sleip AI offers a suite of AI-powered equine gait analysis products accessible via iPhone app and web browser. The product portfolio includes four distinct offerings: Sleip Pro Vet (veterinary professional version with advanced diagnostics including trunk asymmetry data), Sleip Pro (equine care management for professional teams), Sleip Remote (horse owner access with remote recording capabilities), and Sleip Desktop (browser-based team workspace add-on). The core technology uses computer vision to analyze horse movement from video, detecting lameness and movement asymmetries invisible to the human eye with 2mm precision, validated against motion capture systems.

Products and services

• Sleip Pro Vet Professional veterinary version of Sleip's AI gait analysis platform, designed for equine veterinarians and specialist practices. Provides advanced diagnostic tools including trunk asymmetry data, multi-limb lameness analysis, anatomical scaling, and team collaboration features to support clinical lameness workups, diagnostic analgesia assessment, pre-purchase exams, and longitudinal rehabilitation monitoring.
• Sleip Pro Equine care and management version of Sleip's gait analysis app for professional horse care teams including physiotherapists, chiropractors, trainers, and farriers. Detects subtle lameness and supports sharing of results with attending veterinarians for collaborative care.
• Sleip Remote Horse owner access tier of Sleip's gait analysis app, allowing owners to record horses directly or invite others (such as caretakers) to record with limited app access. Enables remote monitoring without requiring physical veterinary visits and supports sharing of recordings with veterinarians.
• Sleip Desktop Browser-based workspace add-on for veterinary clinics, research teams, and regulatory bodies. Provides shared team access to horses, recordings, and results from any desktop or tablet device, supporting high-volume clinical and regulatory workflows such as those used by the British Horseracing Authority.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Equinosis: Equinosis makes the Lameness Locator, the most established inertial-sensor-based system for objective equine lameness detection. It competes directly with Sleip in the equine veterinarian market, with the key differentiation being hardware-mounted IMU sensors versus Sleip's smartphone computer vision approach.
• Arioneo: Arioneo develops Equisense and other connected sensors for equestrian performance monitoring and gait analysis. It targets a similar professional equine customer base (trainers, veterinarians, riders) with sensor-based motion tracking, overlapping with Sleip on use cases around training optimization and injury prevention.

Others

• Tekscan: Tekscan manufactures pressure mapping systems used for hoof balance and lameness assessment in equine practice. It is an adjacent diagnostic technology provider that complements rather than directly competes with Sleip, often used in combination with gait analysis in clinical workups.
• Vicon: Vicon is a leading motion capture hardware and software provider used in academic and clinical gait analysis research, including equine applications. It is a comparable enabling technology to Sleip's video-based approach in research settings and an ecosystem participant in the broader human and animal motion analytics field.
• Qualisys: Qualisys provides high-end optical motion capture systems used in equine biomechanics research and as the gold standard against which Sleip validates its 2 mm precision. It is an adjacent enabling technology provider rather than a direct competitor, and represents both a benchmark and a potential partner for research-grade deployments.

Broad incumbents

• Zoetis: Zoetis is the largest global animal health company with diagnostics, devices, and pharmaceutical products spanning equine and companion animal markets. It is not a direct competitor in smartphone-based gait analysis but serves the same veterinary and equine customer base with adjacent products, including through partnerships like Boehringer Ingelheim's involvement in the equine space.
• IDEXX Laboratories: IDEXX is a leading global veterinary diagnostics and software company (practice management, in-clinic lab, imaging). It does not specialize in equine gait analysis but operates broadly across the same veterinary customer base and represents the kind of strategic acquirer or competitor Sleip could face as veterinary digital workflows consolidate.
