    JumpShot Secures Two High-Impact Investors, Marking Its Next Phase of Sports-Tech Expansion

    11 December 2025

    JumpShot continues accelerating its expansion in the sports-tech landscape, announcing two key strategic investors as the company advances toward its 2026 Series A.

    JumpShot, the sports technology company redefining fan engagement and gamifying basketball, announced two new strategic investors — Zubin Antia and Sean Lin — joining its expanding roster of high-impact champions supporting the company’s path toward its Series A launch in 2026.
    The addition of Antia and Lin brings deep cross-industry leadership and operational insight into JumpShot’s investor network, further solidifying the company's position at the convergence of sports, media, and immersive technology — a space core to the company’s long-term commercialization strategy.

    Strengthening the Team with Proven Operators

    Every leader we bring onto our team sharpens our ability to scale with intention. Zubin and Sean each bring unique networks and a track record of building in high-performance environments. Their belief in JumpShot accelerates the work ahead — and signals what’s possible when the right people align around a shared vision.

    Derrick Mayes, CEO @ JumpShot

    Momentum matters. JumpShot has the talent, the technology, and the timing. What they’re building with the CourtSuite™ isn’t incremental — it’s transformative. I’m excited to help accelerate a vision that has the potential to redefine how fans interact with the game & entertainment concepts.

    Zubin Antia, Co-Owner @ BL Development Group

    Zubin Antia brings a combination of entrepreneurial execution, brand-building expertise, and operational discipline known for his leadership and value creation within brands such as Bar Louie ,he played a key role in the brand’s multi-market expansion, operational stabilization, and scalable growth strategy - core disciplines for a company moving from early-stage to institutional growth. His experience scaling experiential consumer brands aligns directly with JumpShot’s next phase — where physical environments, digital engagement, and cultural relevance converge.
    Lin brings complementary expertise in early-stage company acceleration, comprehensive revenue growth and EBITA improvement initiatives, with a portfolio spanning technology and software, consumer, sports, and entertainment industries. His focus on monetization and disciplined GTM execution adds depth to JumpShot’s investor team.
    Together, their involvement deepens JumpShot’s access to networks spanning hospitality, experience-driven real estate, technology deployment and lifestyle brand partnerships — core ecosystems for the company’s next stage of commercialization. Their investment follows JumpShot’s previously announced SAFE extension led by Matt DeVoe and the company’s creative and branding partnership with Nexwrk, marking a period of rapid expansion as JumpShot transitions from foundational development into execution and market activation.

    Momentum Toward CourtSuite™ Summit

    Alongside this investment news, JumpShot is also teasing its invite-only CourtSuite™ Summit — a private, first-look environment that will offer stakeholders a controlled preview of the company’s patented connected basketball ecosystem.
    Designed as an immersive invite only  event, the private Summit with manufacturing partner TAIT will reveal the core architecture behind the CourtSuite™ platform, offering attendees an exclusive chance to see how JumpShot is reshaping the fan-to-player connection in real time.

    The CourtSuite™ Summit is where everything comes to life. This isn’t just a preview — it’s the first real look at how JumpShot will reshape competition, content, and the entire fan-to-player connection.

    Positioning for a 2026 Scale-Up

    The expanded investor team — now including Antia, Lin, Matt DeVoe, and Nexwrk — reinforces JumpShot’s accelerating momentum heading into 2026 as the company prepares for its Series A raise.

    2026 is the year we scale. With the right people at the table and a product that’s ready to shift culture, we’re entering a defining moment for the future of connected sports entertainment.
