About Hooper
Summary
Hooper turns a smartphone into a personal sports media crew for recreational basketball players. The app uses video AI to automatically generate game highlights, stats, mixtapes, and leaderboards, replacing the camera operators, editors, and tracking systems that only professional teams could previously afford. Athletes get pro-level storytelling and performance data from a pickup game with nothing beyond the phone already in their pocket.
Business model
Consumer app with a free entry point.
Go-to-market
Recreational athletes download the app directly to record and share their own games, with organic growth driven by players tagging and inviting teammates and sharing highlight content across social platforms.
