Muybridge Raises $16M Series Ato Make Every Camera Lens Intelligent
Led by Investinor, Fairpoint, Idekapital, and RunwayFBU, the round accelerates Muybridge's expansion across sports, studios, and live entertainment
Oslo, Norway / New York, USA – May 21, 2026
Muybridge AS today announced the close of an oversubscribed $16 million Series A, led by Investinor, Fairpoint, Idekapital, and RunwayFBU, with participation from multiple Nordic tech founders and operators. The funding will accelerate Muybridge's international expansion across Europe and the United States, scale its commercial organization, and extend the technology roadmap of its software-defined imaging platform.
During the past year, Muybridge completed deployments across major European football leagues, US Open and ATP Tour tennis, NBA, NHL, PGA Tour golf, Rugby, and Premier Padel. Each represents a beachhead in a sport that Muybridge intends to scale rapidly across leagues, venues, broadcasters, and rights holders.
2025 was the year our technology proved itself on the biggest stages in sport. 2026 is the year we build the organization to match that demand.
This raise is about execution – expanding our technology, products, partnerships and organization to meet our growth ambitions.
The Weightless Camera
Muybridge has invented a new class of imaging technology: the weightless camera. Where conventional broadcast demands fleets of physical cameras, operators, cabling, and days of rigging, Muybridge's platform replaces all of it with a compact array of hundreds of 4K sensors and a proprietary GPU software stack. The cameras themselves – the angles, the movements, the perspectives – exist entirely in software.
The broadcast industry has waited for decades for breakthrough innovation that is now here. A weightless camera has no physical constraints: it can hold a position no mount could reach, move along trajectories no crane could follow, and be in multiple places at once. Broadcasters get perspectives that have never existed – delivered with zero latency, no moving parts, and a footprint small enough to deploy where traditional rigs cannot go. The entire system is software-upgradeable and delivered through flexible business models, making elite-level production economics accessible at scale.
A Platform with Implications Far Beyond Sport
The weightless camera does not stop at the stadium boundary. Muybridge's platform is fundamentally a new way for machines to understand and represent the physical world in real time. The implications reach well beyond sports and broadcast. Physical AI and autonomous systems depend on dense spatial sensing. Security infrastructure is built around fixed fields of view. Live entertainment has always been limited by what a crane or drone can carry. In each case, the structural limitation is the assumption that a camera must be a physical object. Muybridge removes that assumption entirely and from the outset, has built its platform to scale across multiple industries.
The Commercial Foundation
Muybridge's commercial model is built to scale through partnerships with technology providers, managed service providers, and system integrators. In September 2025, Muybridge appointed Aneesh Rajaram as Chief Commercial Officer. Rajaram has built his career at the intersection of embedded systems and broadcast technology, industries defined by complex, multi-tiered value chains that demand both technical credibility and commercial discipline. With two major exits in the sector and a network that spans the global broadcast ecosystem, his appointment marks Muybridge's transition from pioneering deployments to a repeatable, high-velocity commercial operation across multiple markets.
The oversubscription of this round says something important about where investor conviction is moving.
Capital is gravitating toward companies built on deep, proprietary technology – platforms that create durable, hard-to-replicate value in the physical world. Muybridge is exactly that: real technology, already proven on the biggest stages in sport, with the architecture to disrupt industries that have seen no fundamental disruption in decades. That combination does not come along often.
