About

AI is the new GPS: Just like how Strava leveraged GPS in phones to serve runners, Hooper is using video AI to empower athletes in basketball and other sports on the consumer-level. To get stats and highlights for a game, it’s now 100x cheaper and 10x faster. Vision: Open the access to pro-level training & storytelling to every athlete. The app today comes with stats, mixtapes, medals, and leaderboards, spurring comparison and competition. High retention: In the beta, users have shown that they love the product. The industry average of users returning to the app after 30 days is 8%. Hooper's is 38%. They continue to come back while also inviting those they play with, and sharing their content online.
