Dunking Devils

What Dunking Devils does

Dunking Devils is a privately held acrobatic basketball performance troupe founded in 2004 and based in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The company stages gravity-defying dunks, world-record flips, and live shows, selling entertainment performances to event organizers, brands, and venues seeking differentiated athletic entertainment. Its core product is a live performance act delivered by a small team of trained acrobatic athletes, with no disclosed proprietary technology, software platform, or digital product offering.

The business operates on a services-based revenue model, monetizing through per-event and likely per-show bookings; no pricing, customer logos, or contract structures are disclosed in the available data. The company maintains a web presence at dunking-devils.com and a small operational footprint of 1–10 employees, consistent with a specialized boutique entertainment troupe rather than a scaled agency. Leadership is anchored by CEO and co-founder Domen Gaiman. The broader company-information record is largely incomplete (the firmographic sources returned verification screens rather than substantive disclosures), which limits the ability to confirm ownership structure, funding history, customer base, or financial scale.

Direct peers

• Dude Perfect: Sports entertainment brand built on trick-shot performances and live shows, with strong YouTube and consumer-products extension. Comparable as a content-driven, athletic-performance entertainment act that monetizes through live shows plus digital/IP.
• Flippenout: Extreme slam-dunk and trampoline dunk performance troupe. Direct competitor in the acrobatic basketball show space, serving similar arenas, schools, and corporate events.
• Harlem Globetrotters: The most iconic basketball entertainment troupe, staging live touring shows with comedic and athletic performances. Directly comparable to Dunking Devils in format (traveling basketball show troupe), customer base (arenas, corporate events, families), and revenue model.
• Acro Army: Acrobatic dunk and slam-basketball performance group that stages live shows similar to Dunking Devils, often appearing at halftime events and exhibitions. Closely comparable format, customer base, and athletic specialization.

Emerging players

• House of Air: Trampoline and aerial-sports entertainment facility/operator. Comparable in the acrobatic-jumping niche and youth/family audience, though venue-based rather than touring.
• SlamBall: Acrobatic basketball-adjacent sports league featuring high-flying, trampoline-assisted play. Comparable audience and acrobatic-basketball crossover, though operating as a league/competition rather than a touring performance troupe.

Broad incumbents

• Monster Jam: Large-scale live sports-entertainment touring property (monster trucks). Comparable as an arena-based, family-oriented live sports entertainment tour with similar B2C ticketing economics, though unrelated in athletic content.
• Cirque du Soleil: Large-scale acrobatic live-entertainment company with global touring and resident shows. Broader and more established player in acrobatic performance entertainment; comparable audience and theatrical format, though far broader in scope and scale.
• Big3: Professional 3-on-3 basketball league with live games and entertainment focus. Overlaps with Dunking Devils on basketball-themed live entertainment and arena audiences, though structured as a league rather than a performance troupe.

Others

• Stunt Team / Acrobatic Troupe Agencies (e.g., ECA): Industry agencies and talent collectives representing acrobatic and stunt performance troupes for corporate events, sports halftime shows, and televised productions. Comparable go-to-market channel and customer base (event bookers, sports teams, brands).
