The founders, Cédric Escher, Diego Seitz, and Radan Dabetic, have successfully built a platform that addresses the challenges of finding and booking sports facilities.GotCourts primarily offers a digital platform that facilitates the booking of tennis and padel courts through its mobile applications available on iOS and Android, as well as a web application. Its core service addresses the challenges of finding available courts and scheduling games by providing real-time updates on court availability and instant booking confirmations. The platform enables players to discover local playing opportunities, connect with other users for matches or practice sessions, and participate in community activities, fostering interaction within a large network of racket sports enthusiasts. The company serves a diverse client base that includes individual players, sports clubs, and court facilities across various geographical markets in Europe, particularly in Switzerland, Germany, and France. Users benefit from features such as leaderboards, club championships, and a marketplace for organizing activities, making the platform a comprehensive tool for both casual and competitive players.GotCourts generates revenue through its booking platform by implementing a transaction structure that involves service fees for court reservations and potential subscription models for premium features. Customers can engage in direct transactions for court bookings, while clubs and centers may partner with GotCourts to list their facilities and reach a broader audience. Pricing plans may vary based on the type of court or facility and can include tiered pricing for different services or discounts for frequent users. The platform emphasizes accessibility and user engagement, which may contribute to increased transaction volume as players book courts for individual games or group activities. The revenue model caters to both individual consumers and business partnerships, allowing for flexible engagement with the platform's offerings.GotCourts AG is planning to expand its product offerings and develop new features aimed at enhancing user engagement within its existing platform. The company is targeting expansion into new geographic markets, including broader coverage across Europe, specifically aiming to enter additional countries by the end of 2024.
