Perch

Perch is a computer-vision weight-room performance monitoring system that captures athlete movement — velocity-based training, jump testing, and strength programming — from 3D cameras mounted on the rack, without wearables or tethers. Spun out of MIT and backed by SoftBank Vision Fund and Techstars, Perch was acquired by sports-technology company Catapult; the perch.fit domain now 301-redirects to catapult.com/perch, where the product is sold and supported as part of Catapult's athlete-monitoring suite. Perch exposes no public API, developer portal, SDK, or machine-readable API specification — this profile is retained as an identity record for the acquired brand.

Perch is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Sports Technology, Athlete Monitoring, and Computer Vision.

Perch’s developer surface includes support, pricing, engineering blog, and 4 more developer resources.
