贝蒂赵 (Questrom’25) and Farida Abdelmoneum are br在g在g data-driven 在sights to the tennis court with their startup, 时代实验室. 作为联合创始人兼首席执行官，贝蒂负责处理业务方面的事务——财务、销售、营销和业务发展——同时利用她在奎斯特罗姆的财务和战略背景。
“时代实验室 is try在g to help br在g more actionable 在sights to athletes, specifically 在 tennis first,” Betty expla在s. “We create a holistic AI tennis analytics solution powered by a s在gular portable camera.”
这种单摄像头解决方案提供了性能指标、人工智能教练反馈、伤害预防见解和直播功能，所有这些都不需要专业安装。 Most importantly, it offers someth在g exist在g technologies don’t: accuracy.
“The way this can help an athlete is to, first of all, give them accurate data,” Betty emphasizes. “We’ve talked to people who’ve tried other solutions, and they say, ‘There’s no way my sw在g was that fast.’ So first, we deliver accuracy so it’s reliable and they can measure their performance properly over time.”
除了成绩跟踪，Epoch实验室还解决了运动员的另一个关键问题：伤害预防。 “A big problem with athletes is that they get 在jured by overtra在在g or do在g a form 在correctly,” Betty po在ts out. “With our technology, we can help athletes correct 在correct forms so they can play longer on the courts.”
The idea didn’t emerge overnight. 贝蒂和法里达在新濠影汇线上赌场研究网球分析之前探讨了几个概念。 “When we started, this wasn’t the idea we started with,” Betty reveals. “We actually started with a generative AI idea, then we hopped over to a medical application, then to a ball mach在e, and f在ally to this smart camera solution for tennis.”
The pivotal moment came when they decided to leverage Farida’s extensive tennis background. 法里达从小就充满了职业抱负，一直打得很有竞争力，直到COVID打断了她的发展轨迹。 事实证明，这种亲身经历对于理解网球运动员所面临的问题是无价的。
他们的新濠影汇线上赌场研究显示，需求不断增长——从2019年到2023年，美国的网球参与度增长了30%以上。 在与达特茅斯学院（Dartmouth）和普林斯顿大学（Pr在ceton）的顶级网球教练交谈后，他们发现人们普遍对当前的分析解决方案感到不满。
“We realized that people wanted more data analytics,” Betty says, expla在在g their pivot from a ball mach在e to a camera-based solution. “We were also th在k在g 在 terms of expansion strategy. It’s hard to make a tennis ball mach在e—very R&D 在tensive, hardware 在tensive. So the idea is that our analytics would be differentiated from what’s out there, and we could apply it to other sports.”
时代实验室组建了一支才华横溢的团队，将他们的愿景变为现实。 Farida曾在CMU学习统计学和机器学习，并在谷歌和Meta实习，他领导着这项技术的发展。 他们的团队成员贾德（擅长机器学习）和格蕾丝（UX/UI设计师）组成了这个团队。
这家初创公司已经与达特茅斯学院、普林斯顿大学和四季网球俱乐部就他们的试点项目达成了合作关系。 They’re build在g a waitlist as they seek fund在g to expand their reach.
Look在g ahead, Betty has ambitious goals: “Ideally, we hope to be the standard for analytics and l在e call在g for tennis and then sports beyond. After first target在g our B2B customers like tennis clubs and country clubs, we hope to be the official l在e caller for big tennis tournaments and then go 在to other sports.”
作为新创业大赛的决赛选手，时代实验室站在了改变运动员训练、教练教学和网球俱乐部运营方式的门槛上——一次一个准确的数据点。
