VISION

HOW IT STARTED

The first seed was planted in September 2019 during a research-project at the Ghent University. The 3 founders were challenged to develop a smart and interacting training device. This could literally be anything but after loads of long days and nights they came up with a device to screen and train the technical-cognitive skills of football players. Which is a gap in the current football industry.

Following on this research-project the founders were guided by the help of the University to develop the product and company further towards a market launch. SCARAB Sports was founded in the summer of 2020. This was the start of great journey in the world of football and entrepreneurship. Starting by joining the imec.istart program in the Autumn of 2020.

This meant a first capital raise for SCARAB Sports which enabled the intensive R&D track towards the manufacturing of the technology and the launch with football clubs. KAA Gent, OH Leuven & Royal Antwerp FC were partners from the first hour,

believing in the technology and helping SCARAB Sports towards great success. By the end of 2021 the company closed a Seed-funding round of 1.1 mil euros. With among others, KAA Gent Captain Vadis Odjidja and Green Park Investment Partners investing in the company.

WHAT'S IN THE NAME

THE SCARAB BEETLE

Our name is based on the legendary scarab beetle which was seen as holy by the ancient Egyptians. It was seen as a symbol for transforming which is what we want to achieve with the PL8. Even though the scarab beetle is small it has great power. They are also seen as great navigators who use the sun to move their ball of dung. It will stop from time to time to orient itself and start pushing again. Just as scarab beetles are great in navigation we want the player that use the PL8 to be good navigators to improve their game.
