Descriptiontext

Parlay Savant, operated by Clique L.L.C. (a Delaware LLC), is an AI-powered sports betting research platform launched in 2024 that targets individual sports bettors across the skill spectrum, from casual users to full-time "sharp" bettors. The product is a conversational research interface that accepts natural-language queries about NFL, NBA, and MLB and returns responses grounded in licensed, real-time league data, live odds, player props, injuries, weather, and Statcast advanced analytics. Under the hood the system claims an architecture that writes and executes code to run analyses and build models rather than relying on a static chatbot, and supports a "Deep Research" mode with file uploads for custom model building and backtesting.

The commercial product portfolio combines a free Line Shopping tool comparing player props, team markets, and game lines across 75+ sportsbooks with a paid subscription core sold in three self-serve tiers: Pro at $15/month, All Star at $39/month, and Elite at $82.50/month, each available at a 20% discount on annual billing via Stripe. Custom Dashboards extend the chat surface into reusable, widget-based boards that persist saved queries and refresh lines across the season. Go-to-market is product-led and community-led: the website serves as a self-serve acquisition surface with no enterprise sales motion, and a Discord community of 10,000+ members functions as both retention channel and content engine, with real subscriber questions surfaced on the homepage.

Strategic positioning rests on three pillars: official data partnerships with the NFL, NBA, and MLB; broad sportsbook and prediction-market integrations (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Kalshi, Polymarket, and 75+ others); and an AI research layer that converts natural-language questions into executable analysis. The company is privately held with 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no disclosed management team or revenue figures, which constitutes a meaningful information gap for diligence. Forward product roadmap includes planned expansion to NHL, CFB, and CBB, plus live NFL odds and player props, indicating intent to widen both vertical coverage and within-sport depth.
