Sports performance platform combining wearables, video analysis, and athlete management
Catapult builds hardware and software for professional sports teams to measure and optimize athlete performance. The tech stack—React Native, React, Python, Go, C++, and GCP/Firebase—reveals a mobile-first platform with real-time data processing, while active projects around Perch 3D cameras, cloud infrastructure scaling, and firmware test harnesses show the company is deepening hardware integration and modernizing backend systems. Security compliance and 24/7 support scaling dominate the pain-point list, indicating the engineering roadmap is split between product velocity and operational maturity.
