JumpShot (aka. Topgolf of Basketball), a trailblazer in sports technology and gamified basketball experiences, has announced a significant milestone in its growth journey — securing new capital through a SAFE extension, partnering with global branding powerhouse Nexwrk, and initiating strategic preparations for its Series A funding round in 2026.
This pivotal development reinforces Jumpshot’s ambition to revolutionize the global sports-tech landscape, merging innovation, data, and fan engagement into one dynamic ecosystem.
Powering the Next Chapter: SAFE Extension and Strategic Investment
The recent SAFE extension round, led by strategic investor Matt Devoe, injects fresh momentum into JumpShot’s expansion. The capital infusion provides financial stability and operational runway to scale the company’s flagship platform, Courtsuite™, while strengthening its long-term positioning for a successful Series A raise.
Investor and strategic partner Matt Devoe emphasized the collaboration’s transformative potential:
“The vision, the strategy, the leadership — it’s all already there. The JumpShot team has done the hard work, building the Courtsuite™ from scratch, securing six patents, and crafting an iconic brand from the ground up. Our role is to provide the infrastructure and capital stability to support scalable, global growth.”
Redefining Sports Innovation: From Infrastructure to Intelligent Growth
JumpShot’s latest move signifies a strategic evolution from early-stage infrastructure toward a scalable, data-driven innovation platform. The company now sits at the intersection of sports, media, and investment, leveraging analytics, proprietary technology, and immersive fan experiences to redefine connected entertainment.
CEO Derrick Mayes, a former Super Bowl Champion and visionary leader, reflected on the company’s trajectory:
“The evolution of JumpShot has all the makings of a champion. With this new chapter, we’re building a powerhouse team that’s ready to compete — and win — on the global stage.”
This expansion opens new doors for partnerships with leagues, athletes, investors, and entertainment brands, creating a unified digital environment for athlete storytelling, data monetization, and fan interaction.
Introducing Courtsuite™: The Future of Connected Sports
At the center of JumpShot’s next phase lies Courtsuite™, a proprietary, fully integrated digital ecosystem designed to gamify the basketball experience. The platform merges real-time performance data, immersive fan interaction tools, and digital storytelling capabilities — turning every moment on the court into an opportunity for engagement and monetization.
In collaboration with Nexwrk, JumpShot plans to unveil Courtsuite™ to investors, athletes, and brand partners, offering an interactive showcase of how technology and entertainment can merge to redefine the sports experience.
“This phase is all about execution and alignment,” said Mayes. “What’s coming next isn’t just a launch — it’s a movement redefining how sports are played, experienced, and monetized.”
Branding Powerhouse Partnership: JumpShot × Nexwrk
The newly formed branding partnership with Nexwrk marks a major leap forward in JumpShot’s go-to-market strategy. Known for shaping some of the world’s most recognizable sports and tech identities, Nexwrk will play a critical role in scaling JumpShot’s presence across digital, retail, and experiential platforms.
Together, the two companies will create an ecosystem that connects athletes, fans, and brands under a unified digital experience — a “Connected Sports Entertainment” model that blurs the boundaries between real-world and virtual engagement.
The Road to Series A: A Global Sports-Tech Movement
With its Series A round planned for 2026, JumpShot is now laying the groundwork for international expansion, strategic partnerships, and the deployment of Courtsuite™ across key markets. The company’s growing network includes industry leaders from the sports, technology, and entertainment sectors — each contributing to a shared mission of empowering fan participation and data-driven storytelling.
JumpShot’s roadmap focuses on:
- Scaling the Courtsuite™ platform globally
- Expanding data and analytics capabilities
- Strengthening athlete and brand partnerships
- Driving sustainable monetization models for fan engagement
