What We Believe

Everyone learns faster with a great instructor.

Great instructors are rare, and they can only be in one place at a time. trophi.ai builds real-time AI that solves that, proven across 10M+ sim racing sessions, and made to scale wherever the stakes are highest.
Our Story

Two founders, one question.

trophi.ai President Scott Mansell can watch a driver exit a corner at 150 miles an hour, pulling 4 g's, and know instantly the one thing they need to hear. That's judgment. That's knowing what actually matters in the moment and saying it in a way the driver can use. But he can only coach one driver at a time.

So CEO Mike Winter asked the question that became trophi.ai. What if Scott's judgment could be beside every driver who needs it, not just one?

That question still drives the company today.
Grounded in REAL EXPERTISE

We started by scaling one of the world's best instructors.

Scott Mansell, former motorspot driver and coach, founder of Driver61, and cofounder of trophi.ai.
Track Record

Built in sim racing. Proven at scale.

Racing gave us the proving ground: simulators accurate enough that professional drivers train on them, real decisions made under pressure, and enough session volume to know whether the system actually held up.

It worked. Over 100,000 learners and 10 million instructional sessions later, we had a kernel that could reliably tell a driver the right thing at the right moment, the way Scott would.
