We are soccer players and fans. We simply want to better the game.

Too often, signings don't align with a team's style or chemistry. Okapi evaluates player compatibility using on-field data and advanced models, helping clubs avoid costly mismatches.

Top-tier insights shouldn't require a top-tier department. Our platform delivers robust, machine-learning powered analytics at a fraction of the cost of building an in-house team.

Waiting too long to move a player can drain value. Okapi tracks player performance and market trends in real time, signaling the best moments to buy, hold, or sell.

John and Will Manning grew up immersed in the world of professional sports. As the sons of veteran executive Bill Manning who led clubs in Major League Soccer, they witnessed first-hand the decisions that shape championship teams. From a young age, they saw beyond the ninety minutes on the field: the roster strategies, financial investments, and executive choices that build success. Both brothers developed a passion for understanding the game on a deeper level, carrying that perspective into their own athletic and professional journeys.
Okapi's technical foundation stems from our team's background studying Computer Science at Brown University, where we specialized in artificial intelligence and machine learning. From computer vision projects to neural networks and data science for sports, our academic work laid the groundwork for Okapi's cutting-edge platform. Okapi has assembled a team capable of building powerful algorithms that translate complex data from the world's soccer leagues into actionable insights.


Will Manning brings years of experience on the field, from competing at the NCAA Division I level with Fordham University to playing within MLS academies. Beyond playing, he's served as a coach and referee across multiple levels of North American soccer. This athletic foundation is shared across Okapi's broader team, many of whom are former players. That lived experience ensures Okapi's technology is grounded in the realities of the sport, combining data-driven analytics with an authentic understanding of the game.
