History

Veo Technologies ApS was incorporated on 10 November 2015 in Denmark by Henrik Teisbæk, Jesper Taxbøl, and Keld Reinicke.[5] The company was originally incorporated under the name Sportcaster ApS before being renamed Veo ApS and subsequently Veo Technologies ApS.[5] The company was created to provide automated video production technology to grassroots and sub-elite sports teams.[6]

In August 2017, Veo raised a 2 million seed round.[7] In late 2018, Veo entered the commercial market with the release of its first AI-automated camera system, designed to record and track field sports without a human camera operator.[1] In September 2019, the company raised a $6 million Series A round led by Ventech, Seed Capital, and Courtside Ventures to support its initial expansion into the United States market.[8]

In January 2021, Veo closed a €20 million Series B round led by Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker, with participation from existing investors Ventech and Seed Capital.[1] During this period, the company launched the Veo Cam 2, which added live-streaming capability over Wi-Fi and cellular networks, along with the Veo Analytics platform.[9]

In June 2022, Veo raised an $80 million Series C round led by ATP, the fourth-largest pension fund in Europe, with participation from existing investors Ventech, Seed Capital, and Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker.[9] In May 2022, Veo launched the Veo Cam 2's live-streaming feature. By March 2022, the company reported surpassing one million recorded matches, with more than 15,000 clubs in over 80 countries using the platform and more than half a million users.[9] At that time, Veo employed approximately 220 people across eight countries, with offices in Copenhagen, Miami, and London.[9]

In 2022, Veo became the title sponsor of the KDB Cup, a U15 youth football tournament founded by Belgium and Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and held annually in Drongen, Belgium.[10] The sponsorship has continued through subsequent editions of the tournament, including 2023, 2024, and 2025.[11]

In May 2024, Veo partnered with USA Lacrosse, becoming the organization's official automated camera system provider.[2] Veo concurrently launched the Veo Cam 3, the third generation of its automated recording and video analysis camera.[2]

As of December 2024, the company reported annual revenue of 505 million DKK.[12] As of late 2024, Veo employed approximately 400 people.[12]
