About us

Solio Analytics is a bootstrapped, community-driven startup creating analytical planning tools for fantasy sports. We believe advanced analytics should be accessible to everyone, not only professionals and experts. We do that by building intuitive and powerful products that make sophisticated analytics easier to use.

Curiosity, not necessity

At the heart of Solio is the idea that innovation should come from curiosity, not necessity. We build alongside the community, not above it, and remain open to good ideas wherever they come from. Our long-term ambition is simple: Analytics for all.

Why “Solio”?

The name Solio comes from sol, the Latin word for sun. It symbolises the transformative power of light and comes with a promise: to bring clarity to complex ideas. If that idea sounds interesting to you or your business, send us an email at info@solioanalytics.com. Maybe we can create some magic together.
