golf.today is building a tee time booking marketplace with a closed-loop
stored-value economy underneath it, a financial layer no one in this $3.4
billion industry has attempted. One company controls ~90% of online tee time
inventory through a barter model that extracts value from courses. Over 1,000
courses switched providers in spring 2025 alone. The market is ready. The
product doesn't exist yet. That's where you come in.
You will be the first technical hire and a co-founder. We have a working
front-end demo that shows the full product experience: booking, wallet,
redemption, and engagement loops. What doesn't exist yet is the production
infrastructure underneath it: the API integrations with tee sheet platforms,
the payments and stored-value plumbing, and the native mobile apps. You're not
starting from a blank whiteboard. You're looking at a fully realized product
vision and deciding how to build the engine that makes it real, on a stack you
choose.
What exists today: a Delaware C-Corp, serious corporate counsel, a front-end
product demo showing the full user experience, a modeled points economy with
unit economics at every tier, the domain golf.today, and active advisory
relationships with PGA Tour winners. The founder brings 27 years of
hospitality business ownership with multiple exits.
What we need:
Someone who has built consumer-facing products from zero to production
Deep understanding of payments infrastructure, stored value, or fintech
plumbing
Experience with API integrations, real-time systems, and mobile
The judgment to make architecture decisions that scale, and the honesty to
push back when something won't work. Someone who wants to own this, not just
build it.
This is not a job. It's a co-founder role with meaningful equity and full
ownership of the technical vision.
