My main objective is to work with a talented group of young, entrepreneurial minds in helping me formulate a business plan and pitch deck that I can use to progress this project. Myself, and two others, have a passion for making golf more accessible, especially for young people. Our intention is to build a destination centered around golf that allows individuals and families to have a singular location in the Charleston, SC area where they can have a centralized location for their golf lifestyle. Charleston is 2 hours from Myrtle Beach and 2.5 hours from Hilton Head - both are known for their wide offering of courses and training facilities. We intend to build a 9 hole course, create a homebase for our Academy, and surround these two cornerstones with additional offerings - fitness, food, and wellbeing (along with coworking space). We are three working professionals with busy family lives and we need support in bringing our vision to life with data, pricing and investment models, etc that we can use to go out and fundraise.

- Financial Modeling - investment needed, ways to be profitable, how and how long

- Market Research - Addressable market and opportunity

- Pitch deck creation

- Vision boarding - including renderings

- Branding & marketing

- Value Prop creation

etc
