#191 Mingle Sport: Revolutionising Grassroots Ball Sports with Computer Vision A.I

Welcome back to the SportsTech AllStars Podcast's first episode of 2024! We kickoff our podcast lineup for the year by featuring the winner of our first edition of the SportsTech Startup Spotlight Competition - Mingle Sport. We are joined today by Freek Bijl, Co-Founder and CEO of Mingle Sport- a Sports Tech startup that's building your favourite ball sports app for grassroots players, trainers and their fans. On this episode Freek talks about his background in digital consulting, his experience working on digital transformations for major brands as Chief Strategy Officer, his personal subpar experience with grassroots football on a digital and statistical front and how his need to provide better statistics, match sharing experiences and team logistics led to the eventual foundation of Mingle Sport. He also talks about their successes with go-to market strategy for various countries, their biggest challenges and their exciting future projects. Mingle Sport is a social app for grassroots ball sports (players, trainers, fans) that allows users to track performance, enjoy the game with others, and manage their team more efficiently using computer vision AI and cutting edge mobile technology.
