Noteefy

Noteefy is an automated tee-time waitlist platform launched in 2022 — now a category leader and golf's number one demand and revenue management tool. By the time we partnered, they already had more than a quarter of the top 25 golf resorts in the US as clients — including Chambers Bay, Streamsong, and Sand Valley. We delivered a campaign that generated 371,000 estimated impressions. Shortly after, Noteefy closed a $2M seed round led by Phoenix Capital Ventures with participation from Perot Jain, TRT Holdings, the Keiser family (owners of Bandon Dunes), and the Bitove Family (founders of the Toronto Raptors).
