About PKUP
PICKUP DESERVESA RECORD.
The game matters while it is happening. The effort, time, competition, and memory should not vanish when it ends.
- What PKUP is
- PKUP is a Performance Intelligence Platform for pickup athletes.
- How PKUP is built
- Participation-first. Device-enabled, not device-defined.
01 / Why PKUP exists
THE GAME ENDS.THE HISTORY SHOULDN’T.
Pickup games are real athletic experiences. They carry effort, competition, instinct, friendship, frustration, and the reasons people keep coming back.
Yet most of that participation disappears at the final whistle. There is rarely a lasting record of the games played, the time invested, or the history taking shape across months and years.
PKUP exists to preserve the sessions it can actually record and help athletes understand what that evidence means over time—without pretending every pickup game needs to become a professional match.
PLAY LEAVES A MARK.IT SHOULD LEAVE A HISTORY.
02 / What PKUP is
SOCCER FIRST.REAL PLAY FIRST.
PKUP starts with pickup soccer. Record on Apple Watch. Review your sessions and history on iPhone. Public V1 is in development.
The technology enables the experience. It is not the identity. PKUP records and interprets real participation; it does not turn pickup into fantasy status, rank an athlete’s skill, or pretend every session produces every answer.

THE GAME IS THE POINT.THE TECHNOLOGY HAS A JOB TO DO.
03 / What PKUP believes
THE ATHLETEIS THE POINT.
Participation matters
The game counts before a metric appears. Showing up, competing, and playing are meaningful on their own.
Evidence matters
PKUP should interpret only what the available evidence can support. An honest absence is better than an impressive guess.
Privacy matters
Athlete data should serve the athlete first. Performance, health, and location information deserve particular care.
Real play comes first
The product should support the game, not turn the game into an engagement mechanic or another obligation.
Data is not identity
Performance data can add context. It does not equal an athlete’s skill, worth, or whole athletic identity.
04 / Where PKUP is going
THE START IS NOT THE LIMIT.
PKUP is beginning with one sport and one current device setup. The longer ambition is a richer home for real-world pickup participation—across more of the sports athletes keep playing and more of the history they build over time.
In development
The current product
- Pickup soccer comes first.
- Public V1 is in development. Apple Watch + iPhone required.
- Recorded sessions, retained history, and interpretation stay bounded by the evidence PKUP actually has.
Building toward
The longer direction
- A broader home for pickup sports beyond soccer.
- A richer history and identity shaped by the games an athlete actually plays.
- An ecosystem that supports real-world play without making technology the point.
The longer direction is ambition, not a list of live features or release promises. Today, PKUP remains soccer-first and evidence-bounded.
PKUP / Built around real play
KEEP PLAYING.WE’RE BUILDING FOR IT.
PKUP is building for people who actually play. Public V1 is in development, starting with pickup soccer. Apple Watch + iPhone required. Public availability has not been announced.
