Optimal Planning Solutions

What Optimal Planning Solutions does

Optimal Planning Solutions, doing business as Fastbreak AI and legally organized as Fastbreak.ai, Inc., is a privately held US software company that operates an AI-powered sports operations platform. Its flagship product, Fastbreak Pro Schedule, is an AI-driven scheduling engine that enables professional and amateur sports leagues to model, test, and optimize fixtures across competing constraints including broadcast windows, travel, competitive balance, and club-specific requirements. The platform has expanded into adjacent modules: Fastbreak Perform (team-level performance management), Fastbreak Compete (amateur tournament management), Fastbreak Connect (experiential brand activation for sponsors), Fastbreak Pulse (sports tourism impact analytics), and Fastbreak Ticketing (which includes offline-capable facial authentication for tournament entry). Underlying capabilities span registration, scheduling, event management, website CMS, mobile apps, and group travel management.

The company serves four primary customer segments: professional sports leagues (NBA, NHL, WNBA, MLS, La Liga, Serie A, World Rugby, AFL, NRL, SEC, Liga MX, Liga Portugal, Greek Basketball League, NWSL), amateur and youth sports organizations, national brands seeking youth-sports activations, and cities or tourism boards. Fastbreak AI monetizes via subscription SaaS with annual billing cycles, supported by an enterprise field-sales motion targeting major leagues (Request a Demo CTA) plus a product-led self-serve path through Pro, Compete, and Ticketing login portals for mid-market and amateur customers. Distribution is global across North America, Europe, and Australia, with mobile app distribution via iOS App Store and Google Play. The company operates a non-profit affiliate, Fastbreak IMPACT, focused on funding youth athlete participation, which functions as a brand-building initiative rather than a revenue stream.

Broad incumbents

• Eventbrite: Eventbrite provides event management and ticketing infrastructure for a broad range of event organizers, including amateur sports tournaments. It competes at the lower end of Fastbreak Ticketing's market.
• Genius Sports: Genius Sports is a publicly-traded sports data and technology company serving global leagues with data, betting, and media solutions. It overlaps with Fastbreak AI in league-level technology services but operates across a much wider portfolio.
• Catapult Sports: Catapult Sports provides athlete performance monitoring and analytics hardware/software for elite teams. Its Perform-tier offering overlaps with Fastbreak Perform at the professional team level.
• Playfly Sports: Playfly Sports is a sports marketing and sponsorship activation platform for high school and college athletics. It overlaps with Fastbreak Connect's brand activation thesis for amateur sports audiences.
• Learfield (Learfield IMG College): Learfield is a college sports multimedia and sponsorship rights holder that touches many of the same college conferences Fastbreak AI serves (e.g., SEC). It represents the broader college sports commercial ecosystem in which Fastbreak operates.
• Ticketmaster (Live Nation): Ticketmaster is the dominant global ticketing platform. While Fastbreak Ticketing with facial authentication is differentiated for amateur tournaments, Ticketmaster represents the incumbent standard for professional sports ticketing.

Emerging players

• Second Spectrum: Second Spectrum applies computer vision and AI to sports analytics for professional leagues and broadcasts. It intersects with Fastbreak AI's league-level AI capabilities but focuses on tracking and broadcast enhancement rather than scheduling.

Direct peers

• Hudl: Hudl is a dominant amateur and youth sports platform offering video analysis, recruitment, and team management tools. It competes with Fastbreak AI's amateur sports stack for the same youth and high school customers.
• Teamworks: Teamworks is a sports operations platform serving professional and collegiate teams with scheduling, communication, and performance tools. It directly overlaps with Fastbreak AI's Pro Schedule and Perform offerings for professional leagues and elite teams.
• SportsEngine (NBC Sports Next): SportsEngine provides registration, scheduling, and tournament management software for youth and amateur sports organizations. It directly competes with Fastbreak Compete in the amateur and youth sports segment.
