About us

Built by people who’ve lived the game

We’re referees, coaches and players, from FIBA officiating to decades in national basketball programs and high-performance soccer, working alongside engineers who’ve built enterprise software at scale. We built EDGE because we lived the problem.

  • From the game

    Referees, coaches and players who have worked FIBA World Cups, national programs and high-performance soccer.

  • From enterprise software

    Engineers who have delivered workforce, finance and AI systems for national and multi-national organisations.

  • For everyone in sport

    One profile that follows players, coaches, officials and families through every team, club and season.

Our vision

Every athlete, coach and official reaching their potential.

Today, the people who make the game are held back by everything around it: feedback that’s lost, progress no one can see, and talent that goes unnoticed. We believe everyone in sport deserves the insight to get better, and the support to keep going.

EDGE brings everyone in the game onto one shared platform, tailored to each sport. Players see how they’ve grown and what to work on next. Coaches understand every player they develop. Officials get the feedback and pathway to reach the next level. And federations get the data they need to support their communities, govern fairly and grow the game.

A game where nothing you’ve done gets left behind, and everyone has what they need to perform at their best.

Our story

The idea for EDGE took shape at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. Officiating departments had data, but no tools that understood how referees actually develop.

Looking closer, the same was true across the game. Players started over with every new club, coaches ran teams through spreadsheets, and families juggled a different app for every child. We had lived each of those problems ourselves, so we built one platform for all of them, starting with the people who run the game.
