The AI for the business of sport.

The senior colleague on your team

anzel turns what your organization already knows into finished commercial work.

01Why

Same jobs every season. Rebuilt by hand every time.

Commercial teams at clubs, leagues and federations run the same jobs every season: sponsor renewals, partner pitches, rights valuations, board and partner reports. The inputs already exist in past deals, CRM exports, audience data and activation results. But they are spread across spreadsheets, inboxes and a few people's heads. So each job starts from scratch, and lean teams spend their time collecting information instead of selling.

It looks like work. It is loss. And it walks out when the people do.

~20%

of a knowledge worker's week goes on searching for and gathering information that already exists inside the company.

The same week, with anzel.

Five jobs, five requests, five finished documents to work from.

02Product

Ask for the work. Get it finished.

Built for the commercial side of sport: sponsorship, partnerships, ticketing and media rights. Ask for a renewal proposal, a partner report or a pitch, and get a finished document your team takes into the next meeting, with every fact, assumption and source in view.

    03How it works

    Four layers.
    One job.

    Everything that matters sits above the model, and all of it is built for sport.

    01

    Knows.

    The knowledge layer: rights, sponsors, inventory, audiences, clubs and leagues, and how they relate. A sports ontology, structured and checked by practitioners.

    02

    Works.

    Specialized anzels for sponsorship, renewals, pricing, activation and planning. Each one tested before it reaches you.

    03

    Orchestrates.

    The router: every step of a job goes to the best-suited model across several providers, weighing quality and cost. Nobody in a club has to know which model is good at what.

    04

    Connects.

    Your documents, your systems and your permissions, chained into one job: from the first question to the finished document.

    Every job starts further ahead.

    Every renewal, pricing review and pitch adds to what anzel knows about you. The longer you work with it, the better it gets.

    04Trust

    Knowledge is the advantage. It stays yours.

    What your team knows is what sets your organization apart. anzel keeps it in the building and puts it to work.

    It never trains a model.

    Your documents and your answers are never used to train anzel's models or anyone else's.

    It is kept apart.

    Every organization has its own space. Nothing one customer gives us informs another customer's work.

    It is processed in Europe.

    Customer content is processed in the EU under GDPR, and you can see every supplier that touches it.

    You stay in charge.

    anzel decides nothing and sends nothing on its own. You drive the process, anzel does the work.
