Founded in 2015 by Tunch Akkaya and Elijah Wu, GameStrat is a cutting-edge sideline replay system that gives coaches and players the ability to review plays in real-time during practices and games. While initially focusing on developing a product suitable for competitive football teams, GameStrat has recently expanded their product to be compatible for reviews of basketball, volleyball, hockey and lacrosse.

Both former uOttawa Gee-Gee football players, Akkaya and Wu conceived GameStrat as an answer to the troubles their coaches were facing with existing instant sideline replay systems.
