Lyth Saeed

Lyth Saeed is a Palestinian-American entrepreneur and the co‑founder and Chief Operating Officer of Huupe, a sports‑technology company that builds internet‑connected basketball hoops with interactive displays, radar/LiDAR sensors, and AI‑powered performance tracking. He grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and bonded with childhood friend Paul Anton over pickup basketball. In 2019, the two founded Huupe after frustration with trying to play remotely via video calls.

Saeed spent three years refining the hardware and software, integrating machine learning and computer vision. The company launched its flagship product, Huupe Pro, in 2022, followed by the consumer‑focused Huupe Mini in 2024. Huupe has raised over $11 million from global investors and NBA athletes, and has expanded into the Middle East through partnerships with Virgin Megastores.

As COO, Saeed oversees day‑to‑day operations and strategic growth, driving Huupe’s mission to transform basketball training and remote play through connected technology. His background combines hardware engineering with business development, positioning him as a key leader in the sports‑tech space.
