Founded by long-time friends Ian Evans, Desh Deepak and Kevin Garcia, Statloba embodies a vision to empower individuals and organizations across the sports industry through AI-driven data solutions while addressing inequalities in underprivileged communities worldwide.

Our Story
Ian Evans brings a wealth of experience from his athletic and coaching career (pre-K to collegiate) in soccer and his work in facilitating sports diplomacy initiatives for international and American youth, sport for good programs with sports organizations, and professional development exchanges for coaches and sports administrators, helping them build leadership skills and resilience. His initiatives have inspired young athletes to reach their full potential, creating a ripple effect of positivity in communities where opportunities are scarce.
Desh Deepak, on the other hand, has dedicated his career to uplifting historically underrepresented youth. As a diversity officer at Hendrix College, he developed strategic programs to increase retention, belonging, and access to education for historically underrepresented students. Now residing in Iceland and Spain, Desh has blended his expertise in AI and technology with his commitment to bridge the socio-economic divide caused by emerging technologies.
Whether working on the front lines during the pandemic, or mentoring youth and building life skills in Sub-Saharan Africa, Kevin is community development practitioner dedicated to working with the most marginalized and vulnerable communities in Los Angeles and around the globe. Kevin has over 4 years of professional experience working in Sub-Saharan Africa, and South-East Asia, and over a decade of experience in the federal and non-profit sectors. His areas of focus include: economic equity and inclusion, foreign policy analysis, international development, grassroots community development, social justice, advocacy, systems thinking, human-centered design and project management.
At Statloba, we are not just leveraging data and AI to elevate the sports industry. We are on a mission to inspire, empower, and unite communities, particularly in developing countries. Ian and Desh's combined passion and expertise ensure that every initiative we undertake is driven by a genuine desire to foster growth, inclusion, and innovation in the sports sector and beyond. From empowering young athletes with leadership skills to mentoring underserved youth in tech and AI, we aim to redefine what it means to make a difference.
Join us in our journey to create a better world through sports, data, technology, and education. Whether you are a sports organization looking for cutting-edge solutions, or an individual eager to support underprivileged communities, Statloba welcomes you to be part of a movement in which innovation and compassion meet.
