Telios
For Investors

A new category.
A proven framework.
An early window.

School athletics runs on guesswork. No measurement standard exists. Telios is building one: a methodology schools adopt today and a wearable technology layer that scales it tomorrow. The founding cohort is both the go-to-market and the development partnership.

The opportunity

A market that has never had an objective standard.

Market

Volleyball, basketball, football, track & field, lacrosse, and wrestling already have budgeted performance-data spend, but none has a wearable at the point of contact. That gap spans roughly 146,800 U.S. high school and college programs and a $206.6M base-case TAM ($69M–$413M range). Volleyball is the flagship beachhead; the rest is expansion into demand that already exists.

Model

Phase 1 revenue comes from program fees: coaching certification, curriculum delivery, and on-site implementation. Phase 2 adds a technology licensing layer as the Telios System deploys to founding-partner schools.

Timing

The founding cohort creates both early cash flow and a development partnership. Schools investing now shape the product and become the reference installs. Camera motion capture is mature and purchasable, and it isn’t the moat. The measurement nobody else can make, and the data network nobody else has, are.

Traction

From validated prototype to deployed systems.

Built

A wireless prototype capturing real contact data, a calibration reference, and a full collection protocol.

Validating

An engineering capstone team at Rice University confirming precision and working through open research questions.

Commercial

Patent pending. A paid clinic with Katy United. A pilot converting to a system deal. School-district conversations underway.

The Technology Horizon

What the framework teaches manually,
the Telios System captures automatically.

The Telios technology layer already exists: a working wireless prototype is in active validation at Rice University, with a patent pending. Early Founder Options are open for programs ready to move before general availability. Contact us about the program.

    Player wears the glove.

    A featherweight sensor fits inside a standard match glove. No tape, no straps, nothing the athlete has to think about between rallies.

    The net knows where it is.

    A Bluetooth net system maps the plane in three dimensions. Every contact above it is captured against a single, calibrated reference frame.

    Data hits the sideline.

    Reach height appears on a coach's tablet within 50 milliseconds. Mid-rally, mid-rep, mid-recruit visit. No replay, no spreadsheet.

    Sessions roll up to athlete profiles. Athletes roll up to programs. Programs roll up to seasons. Subjective stops here.

Outcome vs. execution

The outcome already happened.
You can’t coach it.

Every sport measures outcome data: what the ball did. Kills, points, where it landed. But the outcome already happened. You can explain it. You can’t coach it.

What matters is execution data: what the athlete did in the instant of contact, height, angle, force, timing. The last moment anything is under the athlete’s control. Everything after is physics.

What we’re looking for

Capital and the right ecosystem to accelerate commercialization.

Moving from validated prototype to deployed systems across programs, and building the data network behind them. The academia-to-market bridge, with Rice already engaged, is exactly where Telios sits today.

Discovery call

Stop guessing.
Start measuring.

Twenty minutes with the Telios team. We’ll walk through program fit, identify the right sport and staff to lead, and outline what a founding partnership looks like for your school. Bring your AD if you can.

Who it's for

Athletic directors, head coaches, club directors, and program leaders at every level: high school, club, NCAA, and professional. Investor and partner conversations welcome.

What we'll cover

Framework fit, target sport, staff readiness, STEAM crossover, and the founding-partner timeline through the technology layer.

What we'll ask

Roster size, season timing, and who else inside the building needs to be in the room before a partnership is formalized.
