What happens when a former pro player builds a tech company to fix youth soccer’s biggest blind spot? In Part 2 of our convo with Orhan from Reeplayer, we dive deep into the why behind their mission, the flaws in AI-powered analytics, and the human-first approach shaping their future.

🗣 Quotes from Orhan

“If you're stuck with a camera, something’s already broken in that relationship.”

“We don’t sell cameras. We capture moments that matter.”

“There’s a billion hours of youth sports not being recorded. That’s unacceptable.”

“AI isn’t there yet. And we should be honest about that.”

“I don’t want to end up like GoPro. We’re not a hardware company. We’re a media company.”

“Kids will always rewatch themselves. That’s where the learning lives.”

“The goal is simple: the best footage, in their pockets, instantly.”

“Our cameras are modular because our families deserve better than a forced upgrade.”

“Footage is currency for today’s young athletes—we’re here to give it back to them.”

“The best highlight? A kid getting to relive their joy on the car ride home.”
