ANGULAR VELOCITY
Angular Velocity LLC (or Oy in Finnish), is a Finnish technology startup founded in 2016 by four individuals wanting to change the way people experience sports, from the viewer at home to research institutes.
Angular Velocity is committed to improving and enriching sports technology with cutting-edge hardware and software solutions.
In 2016 Angular Velocity received its first outside funding from TEKES and was a regional finalist in the KasvuOpen competition for startups.
In June of 2016 SPECTO Bowling® made its first public appearance at BowlExpo in the United States and was voted best new product.
SPECTO Bowling® is a joint venture with Kegel LLC from Florida, U.S.A and the first product in the SPECTO Sports® line of products.
SPECTO Bowling® has been adopted by all major manufacturers in the bowling industry and as of today it is considered an essential tool that lends a healthy dose of credibility to new bowling balls entering the market.
SPECTO Bowling® is also used by federations around the world and can currently be found on every continent.
SPECTO Bowling® features on every broadcast on Fox Sports for the PBA Tour with a four year long agreement.

Angular Velocity received EU’s Horizon2020 Phase 2 funding in April 2019 (GA859545) in a bid to grow our operations and take the SPECTO Sports® line of products to new markets.
SPECTO Athletics® has been featured in numerous TV broadcasts both nationally and globally, most notably at the Athletics World Championships in Doha, Qatar in September 2019.
Angular Velocity Oy is now gearing up to take SPECTO Athletics® and SPECTO Curling(TM) to a wider market and expand our offerings throughout 2020 and beyond.
