Our Story
There are two parts to the experience when watching live sports: the actual gameplay and the stats and graphics that enrich the game. Sports fans now expect TV-quality graphics no matter where they get their sports fix. This is why LIGR was founded – to make it as easy as possible to add professional graphics to live sport. Now, we have grown to offer so much more.
Our Mission
LIGR is the only operating system for live sports. Our mission is to make it simple to create high-quality sports broadcasts without the need for hardware, designers, skilled graphics operators, or developers. Since 2016, we’ve been offering live sports production solutions to sporting organizations and the production companies that serve them.
To date, our self-serve platform, LIGR Live, has helped broadcasters, sports clubs and livestreamers produce and automate over 10,000 sports games across the globe. We’ve saved over 100,000 hours of graphics operation, design, and development. That’s the equivalent of more than $20 million saved and over $1 million in sponsorship money activated.
The Founders
Hi, I’m Luke and this is Adam.
Before starting LIGR, I was in live sports production. While working on like games across Australia, I realized there was no viable solution for smaller teams, clubs, and schools to produce professional live sports broadcasts
Hardware is expensive, software is difficult to master. Skilled staff are needed every step of the way. Matching TV production levels costs thousands of dollars – and that’s per game.
I wanted to solve this problem with a solution that
allowed anyone, anywhere with even the smallest budget, to create beautiful sports broadcasts.
That’s when I reached out to my longtime friend Adam Burke. Together we started LIGR. After bootstrapping LIGR for two years profitably, we decided the world needed to see our solution. To do that we needed capital and experienced investors to build a game-changing solution for the industry – and that’s exactly what we did.
LIGR is pronounced “liger” – like the lion-tiger hybrid big cat. You can read about how we came up with the name here.
