Robin Golf designs and sells direct-to-consumer complete golf club sets targeted at beginners, women and junior players. The company markets itself as a Warby Parker/Casper-style ecommerce brand, sells men's and women's sets for $699 and a junior set for $259, and offers a 90-day return policy. Founders launched a Kickstarter in 2019 that raised $32,000 and the site went live in March; during the pandemic they sold out inventory in two months and recorded a 900% increase in sales from April to May. About 45% of Robin's customers are women or kids, versus roughly 5% industrywide, and the brand focuses on expanding access and diversity in a sport dominated by affluent white men. Financially, Robin has raised $1 million from angel investors and declined a term sheet from an institutional venture capital firm due to misaligned visions. The company plans to expand into golf balls, accessories and apparel to provide first-time golfers with a full set of gear.
