Powering Golf's Wholesale Revolution - with guest Meghann Butcher, Founder & CEO of RepSpark

RepSpark: The Online Platform Powering Golf's Wholesale Revolution | with guest Meghann Butcher

What if the biggest challenge in golf retail isn't what you think - and the solution just raised $22 million to scale it?

Golf is a $250 billion global industry, and a massive chunk of that flows through apparel. But the way brands connect with pro shops, private clubs, and green grass buyers has been broken for decades... until now.

In this extended video conversation on the ModGolf YouTube channel, host Colin Weston sits down with Meghann Butcher, Founder & CEO of RepSpark, to pull up the platform and show exactly how they've become the commerce layer for golf.

From bootstrapping for 19 years to closing a $22 million investment from Headlight Partners, from 250 brands and 100,000 retailers to $4 billion in annual transactions, Meghann shares the inside story of building the infrastructure that powers golf wholesale.

Whether you're a golf brand founder, a PGA professional running a pro shop, a merchandiser, or just fascinated by golf business and entrepreneurship, this is a must-watch breakdown of how technology is transforming the way golf gets sold.
