SportLync, Inc., the Phoenix-based technology company building an AI-driven social platform for sports, has retained Baird Augustine to spearhead a $10 million convertible note raise. The engagement runs alongside a planned $30 million-plus institutional round led by DelMorgan & Co., giving the company a two-stage capital path as it scales.
From GolfLync to 33 sports
SportLync began life as GolfLync — quickly dubbed the "Tinder of Golf" for the way it matched players — and has logged more than 180,000 downloads in its initial niche. The platform is now expanding to 33 sports, including tennis, pickleball, and soccer: intelligent matchmaking pairs athletes by skill level and preference, selects a facility, books it, and keeps everyone showing up with personalized reminders.
That community-driven model is exactly the kind of consumer thesis our capital network looks for: a product people already love, a wedge market proven, and a technology roadmap that compounds as the graph grows.
Why it fits the alternative-roadshow model
Baird Augustine's role is to put SportLync in the room with investors who have conviction in consumer AI and the patience to build category leaders. The convertible note structure gives early institutional partners a clean instrument while the larger round takes shape.
