IRewind

IRewind was established in 2013 as a technology start-up serving the sports and event-video market. The company was founded by Bogdan Manoiu, Christian Mauriand, Salvador Garcia Zalduegui, Mihai Nicolescu, and David Delarive; the available reference describes the founding group as consisting of six entrepreneurs but names only these five individuals. No reliable source supplied for this dossier identifies the sixth founder, so no additional person is added. The venture's core idea was to use software to create personalized movies from sports-event footage. Rather than distributing only a general event recording, IRewind sought to provide individuals with video content tailored to their participation or presence at an event. This approach placed the company within the emerging field of automated and personalized video, where software can organize large volumes of footage and produce individualized outputs more efficiently than traditional manual editing. IRewind's target environment was the sports industry. Its technology was intended for sporting events and other settings in which many participants might value a personal record of their experience. The business therefore combined elements of sports technology, digital content production, event services, and software-enabled media distribution. The available material does not provide a complete account of its technical architecture, pricing model, customer list, geographic offices, or named sports competitions, so those details remain undocumented here. The company received significant recognition in 2014. It won the Grand Prize at the Geneva Invention Show, an international invention exhibition described by the reference material as the world's largest invention show. IRewind also won the Swiss ICT Newcomer Award during the same year. These awards increased the start-up's visibility and supported its reputation as an innovative technology company. Public descriptions subsequently characterized it as a global leader in personalized video for sports events. By the time of the acquisition described in the available sources, IRewind had delivered more than one million movies. That figure indicates substantial production volume, although the sources do not define the measurement period, the number of events served, or whether the total referred to paid customer videos, participant videos, or all generated films. In 2017, IRewind was acquired by Yoveo, a company based in Zürich. The transaction was the principal corporate turning point in the company's documented history. Neither the supplied reference nor the cited encyclopedia entry provides the acquisition price, detailed terms, post-acquisition management, or a clear statement about whether IRewind continued as an independent legal entity or brand. Consequently, IRewind's present operating status cannot be established from the available material. Its documented legacy is that of an early sports-video technology company that helped popularize personalized event films at scale.
