# Nextwave Technologies

> Nextwave Technologies is a sport technology venture studio building AI, computer vision and financial infrastructure platforms for modern sport. Founded by John Stuart, with over twenty years of frontier technical work in sport and technology.

## What Nextwave Does

Nextwave builds technology products purpose-built for sports facility operators, pitch providers and venue owners. The company focuses on three areas: demand intelligence and dynamic pricing (Qoreva), payment and financial infrastructure for sport commerce (Vendzi), and computer vision-powered venue technology including live streaming, automated highlights and virtual sponsor advertising (4nines.io).

Nextwave does not adapt technology from other industries. Every product is designed from the ground up for the operational, commercial and financial realities of running sports venues and facilities.
