GRAET Revolutionizes Athlete Recruitment with Data Driven Platform
San Francisco, California, United States, 25th Sep 2025 – GRAET is transforming athlete recruitment by providing a platform that allows young athletes to take control of their careers while enabling professionals to identify and evaluate talent more efficiently.
A Platform for the New Season
The start of a new sports season marks a key opportunity for young athletes to showcase their abilities and connect with potential recruiters. For coaches, scouts, and agents, it’s a critical time to find the next generation of talent. GRAET streamlines this process by providing one platform where athletes and professionals meet seamlessly.
From Idea to Movement
GRAET’s founder, CEO Kroni Hope, understands the challenges athletes face in getting noticed. “Our goal was to build something simple and accessible,” Kroni explains. “A platform where athletes can present their careers, and professionals can discover talent faster and more effectively. A more transparent and efficient process benefits everyone.”
Since its initial investments from Czech venture funds Kaya and Miton, GRAET has grown significantly. Recently, the company received additional support from Czech investor Ondrej Kania and Canadian venture capital fund Inovia.
Today, GRAET boasts over 75,000 active users across Europe and North America, with coaches, scouts, and agents increasingly using the platform to evaluate and connect with talent.
Season Momentum
With the hockey season now underway, GRAET is seeing a surge in activity. Players are uploading fresh clips, scouts are evaluating prospects, and teams are actively seeking recruits. This momentum highlights the platform’s core mission: to serve as the digital hub where athletes and professionals can meet.
Kroni notes, “This season is just the beginning. Our mission is to redefine how talent is discovered, not only in hockey but across all team sports.”
The Road Ahead: Data Meets Discovery
Behind the scenes, GRAET’s technology team, led by CTO Tomáš Voslar, is working on integrating game results and comprehensive player statistics into the platform. This effort aims to create one of the most advanced statistical systems in youth sports. Alongside this, the team is developing predictive algorithms powered by AI, which analyze historical player data to project future performance. These tools will help scouts, coaches, and agents identify rising talent based on data-driven insights.
“The integration of stats and predictive algorithms will make GRAET an essential tool for professionals looking to identify the potential of athletes,” says Kroni.
The Future of Recruitment
While hockey is the current focus, GRAET’s long-term vision includes expansion into other major sports such as soccer, basketball, and football. The foundation is in place, growth is accelerating, and the demand for the platform is increasing.
For athletes, this means more opportunities for visibility. For professionals, it means smarter recruitment through real-time data and predictive insights. For the sports world, GRAET is setting a new standard for talent discovery.
Real Impact, Every Day
“In just the past six months, over 600 players have been recruited through GRAET. We’re hearing stories every day of athletes moving to new teams, families sharing how a message on GRAET opened the door to new opportunities, and players being noticed by international scouts,” says Daniela Hope, Chief Marketing Officer at GRAET. “We’re excited to continue supporting these athletes and providing them with the tools they need to succeed.”
