Naomi Henn, CrowdClips founder, is a former competitive athlete and her goal was to follow in fathers footsteps who was an Olympian grade athlete himself. After every Athletics meet Naomi would spend hours upon hours with her Dad analysing video footage from the Athletics meet to identify the important moments. There was no solution that would identify the unique moments that matter from the event and be able to package it up ready for distribution to create awareness and promotion. CrowdClip was born and its patent pending AI technology takes video and allows it to be personalised and ready to be distributed. With CrowdClip you can create customised professional looking videos based on your experience of a video or an event, for anyone on any budget, from; federations, teams, players, attendees, or fans from a sporting event, to a yacht week event, business conference, or a wedding.

Airspeeder is the world’s first racing series for hydrogen-electric flying cars. Our mission will accelerate eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) advanced aviation technology through intense sporting competition. This mobility revolution, underpinned by future tech will transform urban air mobility (UAM), global logistics and even medical applications with a clean-air electric vehicle (EV) solution. Our racing multicopters are developed at our advanced aerospace engineering hub in Adelaide, South Australia by Alauda Aeronautics engineers drawn from elite motorsports, automotive, aviation and even FPV drone, electric plane, electric vehicles and passenger drone backgrounds. Airspeeder’s vision will deliver the most exciting and future focused motorsport on the planet. Following our successful 2022 inaugural unmanned season, elite pilots will take to the skies to race prop-to-prop while navigating electronically governed racetracks in the skies above some of the most visually arresting scenery in the world. Join us.
