## History

InStat CEO Alexander Ivanskiy began by adding football stats into a table to support football professionals with statistical data. It developed to where each action on the pitch was broken down by analysts and later aggregated with the help of artificial intelligence for study via statistical reports on paper or via an e-video platform called InStat Scout.
The first version of the platform was released in 2012. It is now available in more than 30 languages. InStat allows coaches to access stats linked to the videos of actions of any player in the world. In 2016 a tracking method was introduced, providing teams with fitness data and 2D model of the match.
InStat opened a North American office in Philadelphia in 2019.
Recent deals include a partnership with the HockeyTech for providing ice hockey scouting data. The company made a deal with the Central Collegiate Hockey Association in August 2021. InStat had signed an agreement with the Virginia Development Academy in April 2021.
