PLAYBACK has been named a Top 100 startup in RAISE the STAKES 2026 - the world's largest AI startup competition - from 1,000+ applicants ahead of RAISE Summit in Paris.

RAISE the STAKES is the startup competition at the heart of RAISE Summit, the world's leading AI event, which brings together thousands of AI founders, investors and leaders.

This year's Top 100 - selected across tracks sponsored by Backblaze, Google for Startups and Google DeepMind - have collectively raised more than €110 million, spanning sectors from healthcare and security to climate and consumer AI.

"To be named among the world's top 100 AI startups, in a field this competitive, is a real signal that what we're building matters," said Karim Fawaz, Founder and CEO of PLAYBACK. "We use AI to do something simple but overdue - take the tools only the top 1% of sport could ever afford and put them in the hands of the 99% who play. Every player, every game, deserves to be captured, celebrated and remembered. You PLAY, we BACK."
