From galaxies to goals.
Game1 was founded by two brothers who grew up playing soccer in Switzerland. Their paths took them to Stanford and Cambridge, including a PhD in physics spent comparing billions of galaxies. They came back to the game to build what they wished they had as young players.

In their words
Talent is highly subjective and youth soccer players across the country are evaluated by folks with different opinions and philosophies of the game. Game1 provides concise, quantitative analysis on optimal development strategies while also creating a window for talent identification for clubs across the world. I’m looking forward to this product bringing a new age in development and recruitment.
