On the distribution front, Incisiv is actively planning to collaborate with other headset manufacturers, such as Pico, to break into the Chinese market and make its tools accessible to an even wider audience. The company is also excited about the growing intersection of VR and esports. Apps like Cleansheet and Dodgecraft are uniquely positioned to meet the International Olympic Committee (IOC) criteria for sports inclusion. They emphasise fairness, inclusivity and skill-based competition, which is supported by scientifically validated performance metrics like Cleansheet’s xG. What one thing does the company need most? Strategic partnerships are Incisiv’s top priority right now. Collaborations with sports organisations, broadcasters and technology companies will help the organisation scale faster and reach more users. Media partnerships can showcase the potential of VR and bring Incisiv’s apps to an international audience, while working with sports teams and leagues will refine its platforms through real-world feedback. The right partnerships will accelerate Incisiv’s mission forward to democratise talent, transform how athletes train, recover and compete, as well as introduce sports to both fans and athletes all around the world.

What is it working on right now? Incisiv is refining its VR platform to deliver sport- specific training experiences. Cleansheet – a VR training simulator for goalkeepers – uses motion tracking and AI to simulate real game scenarios, helping players improve reflexes and decision-making. What sets Cleansheet apart is its scientifically validated xG (expected goals) metric, which quantifies performance and identifies talent worldwide. By distributing the VR app through Meta and Sony platforms, Incisiv is breaking down barriers to access and uncovering hidden talent globally.
