Henrik Teisbæk: How AI-powered Video can Unlock Opportunity for Grassroots Sports with Veo's CEO

Today’s episode, I’m joined by Henrik Teisbæk, co-founder and CEO of Veo Technologies. 

Veo was founded in Copenhagen in 2015  with a vision to democratise video broadcasting and analytics which at the time was reserved mostly for professional teams. 

The company creates smart, AI-powered cameras that let anyone record their match without a camera operator. The automatic recording and video-editing then enables coaches and players to watch and share their sport. 

While predominantly focused on football, I recently partnered with Veo when I launched the Sports Pundit rugby predictor game for both the men’s and women’s Six Nations. From that initial conversation about a partnership also grew a curiosity to learn more about their product, as well as how it was being utilised - particularly at the grassroots level - something rarely discussed within sports industry content.
