Uplift Labs provides AI-powered 3D motion capture technology that replaces $50,000 biomechanics labs with iPhones at 90% lower cost, enabling sports performance analysis, injury prevention, and broadcast enhancement.

Uplift's product suite includes Uplift Capture (bringing biomechanics lab capabilities anywhere using two iPads), Uplift Vision (elevating broadcasting with real-time athlete movement insights), and Signals (an AI biomechanics evaluation tool that translates data into actionable insights). The platform serves multiple sports including baseball (pitching and hitting mechanics), softball, tennis, golf, basketball, track and field, running, and soccer, as well as physical therapy clinics. Uplift is utilized by Major League Baseball, professional sports teams, elite performance coaches, and Division I athletics programs, with partnerships including ESPN for MLB Draft coverage and LAFC for player performance. The company scaled from 12,000 to nearly 20,000 athletes in 2025, serving 50+ youth organizations, and was named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2026.
