About Us
Jump smart. Train smarter.
Company Details
Lausanne-based Aiving builds plug-and-play training systems using ultra-light sensors and sport-specific algorithms to deliver real-time, actionable performance feedback. Key movements are detected and translated into clear metrics athletes and coaches can use immediately. Over time, performance and training load trends are tracked to support better decisions and reduce injury risk across sports.
Our first product, Jump Tracker for figure skating, has been available to B2B customers since May 2024 and is used by 17+ teams across 28 countries. Consumer preorders opened in February 2026, with the official consumer launch in April 2026. It is now available in Europe; the Americas follow in December 2026, and Asia is to be determined.
