Marquee, a Tel Aviv–based start-up that uses artificial intelligence for football analytics, has raised $4 million in a seed round led by AnD Ventures. The financing brings the company’s total funding to $6.5 million and is intended to accelerate development of its platform for professional clubs and federations.
Funding details
The seed round was led by AnD Ventures and included participation from Axel Springer SE, Welltech Ventures, Apex Capital, 97212 Ventures and JCP. The round, announced on July 30, 2026, injected $4 million into Marquee, topping up prior capital to reach a $6.5 million total.
Planned use of proceeds
Marquee says the new capital will be primarily directed toward R&D and hiring across AI, engineering and data-science roles. The company also plans to open new offices in the United States and the United Kingdom to support international expansion.
What the platform does
Launched in 2026, Marquee’s platform targets scouting, recruitment and player analysis. It combines AI models with match and competition data to produce textual analyses and actionable insights for professional teams and governing bodies. The product is positioned as an integrable intelligence layer that can plug into existing workflows within sports organizations.
Founders and footprint
Marquee was founded by Dean Bracha (CEO), Jonathan Hazut (CTO), Dror Rosenfeld (COO) and Tal Darchi (CDO). Headquartered in Tel Aviv, the company plans to grow its global headcount as part of this funding round.
Market implications
With strengthened technical and commercial resources, Marquee aims to broaden adoption of automated analytics in professional football. The funding and planned international offices should help the startup make its platform more accessible to clubs and federations outside Israel.
