JumpShot Secures Investors Ahead of 2026 Series A

Sports-tech firm JumpShot has reinforced its investor registry, confirming that Zubin Antia and Sean Lin have joined the company’s latest funding round.

The move comes as the organisation accelerates its transition from foundational development to market activation, specifically targeting a formal Series A capital raise in 2026.

Co-owner at BL Development Group, Antia, has a background in multi-market hospitality expansion, brings expertise in “experiential” consumer brands, a sector increasingly vital to sports-tech companies looking to bridge the gap between physical venues and digital engagement.

Commenting on the new investors and how it affects the company, JumpShot ,CEO Derrick Mayes, said: “Every leader we bring onto our team sharpens our ability to scale with intention.” 

In addition, Lin’s expertise in EBITDA improvement and revenue growth across technology and software sectors will likely be leveraged to ensure the company’s go-to-market execution meets the rigorous requirements of institutional investors during the 2026 Series A.

This focus on monetisation is critical as the company seeks to move its “CourtSuite” platform from a proprietary concept to a commercially viable ecosystem.

The company is currently preparing for the “CourtSuite Summit,” a private event held in partnership with global engineering and manufacturing firm TAIT.

This summit is designed to provide stakeholders with a first-look at the patented basketball ecosystem, highlighting the “fan-to-player” connectivity that JumpShot believes will drive its future content rights and licensing revenue.

As the sports technology landscape becomes increasingly crowded with gamification tools, JumpShot’s strategy relies on building a defensible infrastructure.

By layering this new capital with creative partnerships, the organisation is positioning itself not just as a hardware provider, but as a lifestyle and media property capable of shifting fan interaction at the grassroots and entertainment levels.
