Perch utilizes cameras mounted to weight racks to measure, store, and analyze weightlifting performance.
By monitoring movements during exercise and leveraging machine learning and computer vision, Perch enhances athletes' motivation, safety, and effectiveness of strength training. Perch’s data collection and proprietary algorithms, not only enable athletes to reduce injuries and enhance effectiveness, but also enable teams to use real-time data of their athletes to improve team performance. The ultimate goal is to create the gym of the future.
“Perch aims to turn every athlete into the best version of themselves. The Company seeks to bring them information about the quality of their movement and what they can do to move more powerfully, efficiently and safely.”
To date, Perch has installed hundreds of devices across the country, with some of the more prominent customers including the New York Giants, Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins, Orlando Magic, Philadelphia Phillies, Dallas Stars, San Jose Earthquakes, LSU Football and Kentucky Men’s Basketball, among many others. The Company recently raised a $4 million financing round. This brings the total amount raised by the company to $6 million since its founding in 2017.
