The Cortex story began in 2015 when CEO Aidan met CTO Ciaran in the innovation laboratories of a university campus outside the youthful, tech-savvy city of Brighton, United Kingdom. Together with the start-up development team, they began to build a solution to a market problem, building technology to create more connected digital ecosystems.
After 9 years developing the product suite in direct partnership with customers, Cortex was launched in 2024 to better serve the digitally diverse sports industry as a quick-to-deploy SaaS platform for data and revenue driven sports marketing.
Cortex products are used by multiple top tier sports organisations and clubs including; Arsenal FC, Formula 1, ECB, the Hundred, Euroleague Basketball, URC, Premiership Rugby, RL Commercial, SA20 and SportFive and well as leading solutions agencies like UNRVLD, Strut Digital, Playfly and Skylark Creative.
Cortex customers are using fully connected technologies to create seamless user journeys, optimise digital fan experiences and unlock new commercial opportunities enabling revenue to flow and their businesses to thrive.
This is a rare opportunity to be part of a fast-growing start-up business offering a lot of progression potential, opportunity and personal growth.
