UDisc

Disc golf scorekeeping + world's largest course DB - bootstrapped since 2012, 20+ team, 90% app share.
👤 Matt Krueger & Josh Lichti (Iowa State comp-eng grads and disc golfers who began mapping courses around 2012 - years before the boom they would end up owning.)🌐 siteLinkedIn

Two engineers began mapping courses for friends around 2012. A decade later, they own the data layer of a whole sport.

Will it work? · our read
Owns the map. Two engineers spent a decade building disc golf's map, then rode the pandemic boom to 90% share. A real data moat, but capped by a small, now-flattening niche.

UDisc 2024 Disc Golf Growth Report - https://udisc.com/disc-golf-growth-report/2024MotherDuck case study - https://motherduck.com/case-studies/udisc-motherduck-sports-management/Cheers to a Decade of UDisc - https://udisc.com/blog/post/cheers-to-a-decade-of-udiscUDisc Pro pricing - https://udisc.com/subscribeWikipedia: UDisc - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDisc
Revenue is NOT disclosed - UDisc is a private, bootstrapped company. The $4-6M/yr figure is my estimate (about 1.4M yearly users at a 10-15% paid conversion x $29.99), so it is EST, not independently confirmed. Third-party trackers (Growjo about $3.6M/yr, LeadIQ about $1.8M/yr) estimate lower - treat this range as directional, not confirmed. Everything else is first-party or Wikipedia-sourced: 1.4M users / 21.9M rounds (2023), 15,205 courses, $29.99 pricing, 90% share, founders, and the 2017-24 pro-tour scoring deal. No drama here - UDisc won on timing (started in 2012, years before the pandemic boom) and a compounding data moat, not a single dramatic move. 'Bootstrapped' is widely reported and no funding rounds are on record, but I could not confirm a formal founder statement of it. We never score you.
