Hosel aggregates thousands of pre-owned golf clubs and accessories onto a single searchable platform, giving golfers transparent pricing, guaranteed authenticity, and an easier way to trade in equipment. By addressing pain points like counterfeit goods, price opacity, and fragmented supply, the company positions itself as the “Vinted for golf” within a global second-hand golf market valued at roughly $3 billion. Its technology underpins modern pricing, authentication, fulfilment, and customer-experience workflows that traditional resale channels such as eBay fail to offer golf enthusiasts. Co-founders Andrew McGinley (CEO) and Charles Harley (CTO) bring prior scale-up experience from Care Sourcer, Skyscanner, and FanDuel. Demand is buoyed by rising golf participation and a broader retail shift toward recommerce, giving Hosel a clear tailwind. The company has secured £500,000 in pre-seed funding to build out its platform, with an institutional round and U.S. expansion planned later in the year. Current operating metrics such as revenue or user counts were not disclosed, but the fresh capital provides runway to accelerate product development and market entry.
