Catapult is a sports performance analytics company, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The company is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia.
Catapult was founded by engineers Shaun Holthouse and Igor van de Griendt,[3] and is today led by CEO Will Lopes. In 1999 the pair were working with the Cooperative Research Centres during a project with the Australian Institute of Sport seeking to replace laboratory-based performance testing with microtechnology, as athletes were not exerting themselves in lab conditions in the same way as they do in competition. Catapult was launched as a business in 2006 and became a publicly listed company on the Australian Stock Exchange in 2014.
