Pri0r1ty Enters US Market with First Customer Trial of Capitano Ai
London, UK - 10 April 2025 - Pri0r1ty Intelligence Group PLC (AIM: PR1) is pleased to announce its entry into the US market through the first customer trial of its recently launched artificial intelligence (AI) platform, Capitano Ai. This marks the beginning of the Company's strategic expansion into the rapidly growing US AI and sports analytics sectors.
Capitano Ai is an AI tool designed to enhance the data analytics capabilities of sports and media organisations. The platform enables users to immediately unlock valuable insights from their extensive data repositories via simple conversational queries, marking a crucial advancement in sports data intelligence. The platform's first US customer is Orange County SC ("OCSC"), a professional soccer club competing in the USL Championship, the second tier of the American soccer league system.
Pri0r1ty announced the launch of Capitano Ai in a 50:50 joint venture between Pri0r1ty Ai Ltd (the Company's wholly owned subsidiary) and Halfspace Ltd, on 5 March 2025, after which the Company has received significant global inbound enquires regarding the product.
Orange County SC, based in California, has established itself as a prominent club in US soccer with a strong focus on player development and community engagement. The club, originally founded in 1998, competes in the USL Championship and plays its home matches at Championship Stadium in Irvine, California. It will join existing pilot customers Team GB Snowsport and The Race Media in trialing the innovative AI-powered sports analytics platform on the same commercial terms, ahead of an anticipated larger rollout in the second half of this year.
This partnership with Orange County SC represents a strategic expansion of Capitano Ai's presence in the North American market, where the sports analytics sector is experiencing rapid growth. The sports analytics market is poised to grow from $4.6bn in 2024 to C. $26bn by 2032 as organisations increasingly leverage data-driven decision making to enhance performance both on and off the field according to a SkyQuest article (Sports Analytics Market Size, Share, Trends & Forecast | 2032).
James Sheehan, CEO of Pri0r1ty, commented:
"In these turbulent times sport represents a relative escape for many, and we believe this will deliver a robust long term business case for Pri0r1ty even with the current uncertainty in other sectors. Pri0r1ty intends to incorporate a Delaware company to take full advantage of the expected additional demand for our products in the US that this first step will deliver, we see an expansion into the US as a key driver to insulate us from global macroeconomic volatility."
"We are delighted to welcome Orange County SC as our first US customer for Capitano Ai. This partnership not only validates the international appeal of our platform but also establishes our footprint in the incredibly valuable North American sports market. The US clearly presents important growth opportunities for our AI solutions and we believe Capitano Ai's ability to transform complex data into actionable insights will resonate strongly with sports organisations across the region."
"Since announcing our joint venture with Halfspace earlier this month, we have seen considerable inbound interest in Capitano Ai from sports organisations globally. Securing a customer in the US market so quickly after launch demonstrates the platform's unique value proposition and positions us well for further international expansion."
Daniel Rutstein, President of Business Operations for Orange County SC, said:
"We are excited to partner with Pri0r1ty and Halfspace to implement Capitano Ai across our organisation. As we continue to evolve our data-driven approach to both on-field performance and business operations, we believe this innovative AI platform will provide us with valuable insights that can drive competitive advantage. The ability to access complex data analytics through simple conversational queries represents a significant advancement in how we can leverage our data assets."
