Your tennis,
finally read.
The AI tennis coach in your pocket. Spyn reads your matches, swing, and progress history, then tells you exactly what to fix next.
Pre-seed · spyn.app
Other apps tell players what happened.
Spyn tells them what to fix next.
We turn match video, match history, and swing clips into personalized insights, targeted drills, and weekly practice plans at a price every player can say yes to.
Cheaper
Competitor-level match intelligence at a lower price, powered by a modern model stack built to get more accurate over time.
Coaching-first
Not just stats. Spyn prioritizes the one thing to fix next, then gives the drill that fixes it.
Personalized
Built from your matches, swings, and progress history. Your plan, not a generic tip.
An AI coach that turns every session into a plan.
Log a match, upload a swing, or track your rating. Spyn reads the patterns and tells you what to practice next.
Log it
A match in seconds, by typing, talking, or uploading a clip.
Read it
Spyn finds the patterns, weak spots, and swing faults players usually miss.
Fix it
Every insight comes with a drill, a practice priority, and a way to track progress.
The window just opened.
Cameras everywhere
Every player already carries a high-quality camera. The footage exists. Most players still do not know what it means.
Inference got cheap
Fast, capped, low-cost models make consumer AI coaching economically possible.
Tennis is booming
A post-2020 wave of new and returning players created a larger audience hungry to improve.
Golf proved the loop
18Birdies showed that scoring, stats, coaching content, and community can become a daily sports habit. Tennis is ready for the same loop with video and AI.
Big top, focused beachhead.
Global tennis coaching, training tech, analytics, and player-development spend.
Competitive improvers in core English-speaking markets who already pay for tennis, lessons, leagues, gear, or apps.
300K paid subscribers x ~$100 blended ARR = ~$30M ARR
300K paid subscribers is roughly 2% of U.S. core players, before international expansion.
Two plans. One clear upgrade.
Match intelligence.
The competitor-style plan, cheaper and easier to use.
- Match recording, stats, and highlights

Targets and assumptions, not audited results.
Built for the whole improvement loop.
Beginner-friendly entry. Advanced-player depth.
We start with players who want to improve but cannot commit to constant coaching. Then we expand through teams, academies, creators, and clubs.
Beginners and improvers
The biggest pain is not lack of data. It is not knowing what to practice next.
Advanced features, simple language
Stats, ratings, video, and drills stay powerful, but Spyn translates them into one clear next step.
Competitive juniors and parents
Junior circuits, showcases, and recruiting create urgency and willingness to pay.
Adult league players
Millions compete every week and repeat the same mistakes without a coach watching.
Coaches and academies
Group trials and roster tools let one academy introduce Spyn to dozens of players at once.
Creators and ambassadors
Tennis creators, team captains, and player ambassadors demo analyses where tennis players already spend time.
Self-serve players fund the engine. Creators, ambassadors, and academy pilots compound distribution.
