AccelGolf

Accel Golf LLC operates as a sports technology firm specializing in golf performance analytics through its mobile application. The company provides a platform for golfers, coaches, and teams to track, analyze, and improve their game. Its target clients range from amateur and junior golfers to collegiate teams (DI, II, III), and professional players on the PGA, LPGA, and Korn Ferry tours. The business model is subscription-based, offering various tiered plans for individual players, coaches, and larger groups like high school teams and academies. Revenue is generated directly from these recurring subscription fees, with options for premium features and white-label solutions for organizations.

The core product is a mobile application available on both iOS and Android that serves as a comprehensive golf statistics tracker. A key feature is the "StatCard" which allows users to enter round data quickly by taking a photo of their physical scorecard, which the app scans using character recognition technology. The platform analyzes this data to provide traditional stats, advanced metrics like proximity to the hole, and Strokes Gained analysis benchmarked against various skill levels. It also offers detailed visualizations of miss directions for shots. Beyond simple tracking, Accel Golf incorporates an AI Coach that uses machine learning to identify a player's strengths and weaknesses, offering personalized recommendations and practice drills from a built-in library. This allows for the creation of customized practice plans to help golfers improve more efficiently. Users can generate detailed one-page reports to share with coaches or friends, and the platform includes a calendar to manage practice and track progress over time.

The current iteration of Accel Golf was founded in 2020. The company is led by CEO Ami Gianchandani, a former Division I golfer at Yale and Auburn with a degree in Statistics & Data Science, blending high-level athletic experience with analytical expertise. An earlier, now-defunct company named AccelGolf was founded in 2008 by William Sulinski, James Daniels, and Sky Mayhew. It operated as a golf analytics platform using phone GPS and was an alumnus of the TechStars incubator program before it closed in 2011.
