HomeCourt
AI basketball training app that tracks every shot with just a phone camera.
About
HomeCourt is the AI basketball training app from San Jose-based NEX Team (co-founded by David Lee), launched in 2018 and demoed on stage with Steve Nash at an Apple event. Point a phone at the court and the app uses computer vision to track makes, misses, shot location, dribbles, and workout time in real time, with slow-motion review of each shot and no sensors needed.
The NBA took a minority stake in NEX Team as part of its $8.5M Series A in 2019, alongside investors Mark Cuban, Joe Tsai, Steve Nash, Sue Bird, and Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment; NEX later raised a $25M Series B in 2021. The company reports users across 200 countries and has expanded into motion-based fitness games like Active Arcade. The app runs a freemium model, so expect advanced training programs and analytics behind a subscription.
