Building the Modern Club Stack: CourtReserve’s Journey and $54M Next Step

In Part 1 of our conversation with Ashley Owens, co-founder of CourtReserve, and GoTab co-founder Tim McLaughlin, we unpack how CourtReserve grew from a simple tennis court booking idea into a leading facility management platform. Ashley shares her personal origin story, why she and her husband chose to become operators themselves, and what their $54M growth investment means for product quality, integrations, and the future of racquet sports. Along the way, Adam and Tim explore broader tech trends — from rollups and “walled gardens” to the rising expectation that every venue experience should be as seamless as the apps we use daily.
