SkillCorner, the leading provider of AI-driven sports tracking and contextual performance data, today announced a $60 million growth investment from Silversmith Capital Partners, a Boston-based growth equity firm focused on backing exceptional founder-led technology and healthcare businesses.
The partnership marks a major milestone for SkillCorner as it deepens its presence in key markets and builds on its leadership in AI-driven sports intelligence. With Silversmith’s backing, the company is poised to accelerate product innovation and deliver even greater value to teams and leagues worldwide.
“We’re proud to welcome Silversmith Capital Partners as our new investment partner, joining the NBA and our founding team in the ownership group supporting SkillCorner’s next phase of growth,” said Charles Montmaneix, Co-Founder and General Manager of SkillCorner. “From the outset, it was clear that Silversmith understood both our business model and long-term vision. Their experience partnering with founder-led, profitable technology companies makes them a strong fit to help us scale our operations and accelerate our global expansion. We’re also deeply grateful to Seventure Partners who believed in us from the beginning and helped lay the foundation for everything we’ve achieved so far.”
“SkillCorner has built a category-defining solution that is transforming how sports organizations capture and use AI-driven tracking and performance data,” said Sri Rao, Managing Partner at Silversmith Capital Partners. “As the company expands into new sports and markets, we see enormous potential for its data to reshape how teams, leagues, and broadcasters understand the game – from optimizing scouting, recruitment and tactical analysis to enhancing player development. We’re excited to support Hugo, Charles, and the entire SkillCorner team as they continue to set the global standard for sports data innovation.”
“This investment will enable us to strengthen our data engineering capabilities, accelerate our multi-sport expansion in North America, and continue delivering innovative metrics that help teams make better decisions in player recruitment, development and team strategy,” added Hugo Bordigoni, Co-Founder and CEO of SkillCorner.
