Injuries are the silent saboteurs of a sports season, and one Miami-based startup is betting that artificial intelligence can spot them before they happen. OnSport AI, a company using computer vision and machine learning to flag injury risk during live play, has closed a $2 million pre-seed round, as announced today.
MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, November 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — OnSport AI is headquartered in Miami with an additional office in Orange County, Calif. The funding will fuel product development, expand the engineering and biomechanics teams, scale partnerships across professional and collegiate sports, and advance the company’s military applications.
The company’s patent-pending software analyzes athlete movement to identify elevated injury risk in real time and after the fact. Grounded in biomechanics and cognitive modeling, the platform gives performance staff, medical teams, and front offices objective insight into the factors that lead to injury—a tool designed to replace guesswork with data.

OnSport AI already has agreements in place with organizations across the NBA, NCAA, international basketball, and professional soccer. It is also finalizing league-wide enterprise agreements to provide data services for digital media and fan engagement. Beyond the arena, the company is applying the same movement analysis and injury risk identification to support the health, readiness, and performance of military service members.
“Nothing derails a season like injuries, and it’s terrifying to make decisions without the right data,” said Brett Burman, Co-Founder and CEO of OnSport AI. “If I’d had OnSport AI, I have no doubt my team would have been better positioned to succeed, on the court and financially. The platform lets organizations see what the human eye can’t and act on it. This funding lets us bring that to more teams, more leagues and industries that carry the same physical strain as professional athletes.”
“Our technology was built for high-stakes environments where readiness is everything,” said Ahmad Ishaq, Co-Founder of OnSport AI. “The same insights that help protect a professional athlete can help protect any worker, whether in the military or the labor sector. We’re grateful to our investors for backing a team that combines deep domain expertise with proven experience building and scaling technology companies.”
