Clubspot

What Clubspot does

Clubspot is a vertical SaaS platform serving private member clubs across golf, yacht, racquet, social, dining, ski, and resort categories. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company operates with 11-50 employees and serves hundreds of clubs encompassing 500,000+ end users across the USA, UK, and Australia. Its roots trace back to the Irish GAA club market, from which it expanded into US private clubs and subsequently into additional club typologies.

The platform is cloud-native, built on Node.js, Vue, Express, and MongoDB, and bundles member management, event scheduling, tee-time and court reservations, POS, payment processing, accounting integrations (QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage, Xero, CYMA), Golf Genius integration, and an AI layer (Clubspot AI) that supports natural-language queries and predictive analytics on member and operational data. The architecture is unified rather than modular, positioning Clubspot as a replacement for fragmented club stacks.

Revenue is generated through a combination of subscription fees, transaction-based payment processing (online card 2.9% + $0.30; in-person 2.7% + $0.05; ACH 0.8%), and usage-based charges such as document storage at $0.10/GB. The pricing model is pay-as-you-go with no setup fees and no monthly minimums. The company received a minority growth investment from Mamba Growth Equity in June 2026 to support international expansion and product development, and has established a partnership with Enterprise Ireland to scale internationally.
