StatusPRO develops sports training and gaming products that fuse data with augmented, mixed, and virtual reality to create immersive experiences for coaches, players, and fans. Its core product lineup includes NFL PRO ERA, an NFL and NFLPA‑licensed first‑person VR simulation launched in 2022 that gives users a professional player’s perspective. The NFL PRO ERA franchise recently added head‑to‑head multiplayer gameplay and featured Lamar Jackson as its cover athlete. The company was founded and developed by former football players Troy Jones and Andrew “Hawk” Hawkins and is based in New York City and Miami. StatusPRO plans to broaden development into new sports titles while continuing to enhance modes, features, and its underlying technology. The company raised outside funding and intends to deploy proceeds toward product expansion and technical improvements. StatusPRO provides a suite of training and gaming products that combine player data with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Its training platform uses real-time player data to power holographic experiences that let players simulate any practice or game scenario without the physical impact of playing. Players are able to simulate virtual practice sessions while in different locations to mitigate the effects of having less time on the field. The company plans to leverage its platform to expand into the gaming market. StatusPRO said it will use the recently raised funds to accelerate expansion of products aimed at reshaping how players and coaches prepare for games and to define new forms of engagement between athletes and fans. The company was co-founded by Andrew "Hawk" Hawkins and Troy Jones and is based in Miami, FL.
