StatMuse Inc. is a United States-based firm specializing in artificial intelligence, established in 2014. It operates an online platform featuring a comprehensive repository of sports statistics covering the four primary North American professional sports leagues, the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), NCAA Division I men's basketball, NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, Europe's elite Big Five soccer leagues, along with multiple professional golf circuits.
History
StatMuse was founded in 2014 by Adam Elmore and Eli Dawson with the objective of providing rapid access to sports statistics through natural language processing (NLP). The company initially concentrated on NBA data but later broadened its scope to encompass other major sports leagues, shifting its focus from fantasy sports enthusiasts to a wider audience of sports followers.
In 2015, StatMuse became part of the Disney Accelerator program and attracted funding from notable entities including The Walt Disney Company, Techstars, Allen & Company, the NFL Players Association, Greycroft, and NBA Commissioner David Stern. During the 2015–16 NBA season, a collaboration with ESPN enabled the delivery of statistical content for television broadcasts and social media platforms.
The platform allows users to receive responses to their queries voiced by well-known sports personalities and integrates with digital assistants such as Google Assistant, Microsoft's Cortana, and Amazon Echo. The mobile application, released in September 2017, supports voice-activated natural language searches. Furthermore, StatMuse expanded its accessibility through Slack and Facebook Messenger integrations for text-based inquiries. In 2019, Google Assistant became an investor via its investment initiative.
In May 2023, StatMuse launched StatMuse+, a subscription service that provides unlimited query capabilities, comprehensive data tables, early access to new features, personalized search histories, and an ad-free environment. Subsequently, in January 2024, the company unveiled StatMuse FC, a version dedicated to the Premier League with intentions to incorporate additional leagues in the future.
