CourtReserve has raised $54M in growth investment by partnering with Mainsail Partners. A milestone that represents not just growth, but a deeper commitment to the vision that started it all.
When Ashley and I launched CourtReserve in 2016, it wasn’t with a big business plan or a boardroom pitch. It started with a wall full of sticky notes. Ideas scribbled late at night about how to make life easier for racquet court managers, players, and coaches.
We were both deeply involved in our local racquet sports community and saw firsthand how much time clubs spent managing spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls to organize play. We believed there had to be a better way, a software that helped clubs and players spend less time on admin and more time playing.
That was the start of CourtReserve.
From that simple vision grew something we still have trouble believing today, a company serving thousands of clubs and millions of players in the U.S. and beyond. Along the way, we’ve celebrated the highs, learned from the lows, and most importantly, stayed resilient.
One thing has never changed through it all? CourtReserve is about people.
The heartbeat of CourtReserve
The success of CourtReserve has always been a reflection of the heartbeat of the people who choose to be here every day: our team, our partners, our clubs, and our players.
Every feature we’ve built, every late-night release, and every customer win has been driven by people who care deeply about helping others play more of the sport they love. That’s what makes this journey so special.
Why we chose to partner with Mainsail Partners
As CourtReserve has grown, so have our ambitions. We see a future where technology supports clubs and transforms how the entire industry connects, learns, and grows together.
We realized we needed the right partner to achieve that vision, one who shares our values, understands SaaS at scale, and believes in what we’ve built.
That’s why we chose Mainsail Partners.
Mainsail Partners is a true growth partner, with deep experience helping founder-led companies scale without losing their identity. From the very first conversation, it was clear that they believed in our mission, our team, and our culture.
They’re not here to change who we are, but to help us grow into everything we’re capable of being.
The dream is to scale
For years, we’ve said, “The dream is not for sale.“
That’s been our way of protecting what makes CourtReserve special. Our independence, purpose, and love for the game. As we look to the future, we’ve realized something important:
To serve deeper, innovate faster, and create more measurable value for clubs and players everywhere, the dream must evolve.
So now, we’re saying something new: “The dream is to scale.“
With the support of Mainsail Partners, we’ll be able to:
- Innovate rapidly: building even more powerful features and experiences for clubs and players.
- Serve deeper: expanding our support, education, and training to help clubs grow their communities.
- Create more raving fans: delivering exceptional value that allows every customer to thrive.
What the future looks like
Our mission hasn’t changed. It’s simply growing stronger.
We will:
- Create richer relationships with clubs and players.
- Remove friction everywhere we can.
- Make education a priority across the industry.
- Help clubs grow their communities and bring people together through play.
This next chapter gives us the resources to move faster, think bigger, and make a lasting impact on the sport we all love.
