Startup Fridays – Building a golf startup, featuring Back Nine and Trutee
Our Startup Fridays event in June will feature two St. George-based startups in the golf industry – one of the hottest growing industries in the world right now!
Back Nine Golf
Back Nine Golf is a, fast-growing, 24/7 indoor golf facility featuring high-end Full Swing golf simulators. With hundreds of franchise locations across the country, and new locations opening nearly every week, Back Nine is one of the fastest growing golf franchises in the world – they’re even opening franchise opportunities across the globe!
We’ll hear from Brady Carlsen (COO) and David Lindsey (local Store Operator) as they share their insights and knowledge with us about operating a fast-growing golf business, franchising pitfalls, lessons, and more.
Trutee
Trutee is a software platform for golf courses, replacing multiple outdated tools with a single unified system for booking, payments, and waitlists. It helps course operators run more efficiently and capture more revenue, while making it easier for golfers to find, book, and play.
We’ll hear from Trutee founder Connor Van Gilder about his industry insights, founder journey, and growth of the startup.
