We are now crowdfunding to bring our tested product to the mass market.
Ends on November 15th, 2024.
The all-in-one Turf Gamechanger will revolutionize golf course maintenance with cutting-edge Finnish engineering and innovative software that collects course data while the machine is working.
Founded in 2017, we have created innovative, patented machines that integrate advanced technology and automation software to perform comprehensive turf maintenance tasks. Our solution leverages data technology, IoT and machine automation to drastically reduce costs, improve quality and minimize environmental impact.
EXTENSIVELY TESTED UNDER REAL GOLF COURSE CONDITIONS SINCE 2021, OUR SMART MACHINES ARE NOW READY FOR MASS PRODUCTION.
We are targeting a global golf course turf maintenance equipment market worth over USD 4 billion annually, with more than 33,000 golf facilities worldwide.
TGC smart machines are already performing contract work at several golf courses, introducing the TGC method to customers and collecting usage data.
Contracts for maintenance work with more than 30 courses in Finland and Northern Europe have been established for the next growing season.
How the Raised Capital Will Be Used
The capital from the crowdfunding campaign will be used for further development of the TGC Machinery and Precision Maintenance software platform, sales and marketing activities across key European markets and enhancing mass production capabilities. This includes allocations for R&D, product development, marketing efforts and improving production efficiency to support our growth.

A Long-needed Innovation in Sports Turf Maintenance
Historically, the sports turf maintenance industry, particularly for golf courses, has seen little innovation. This is due to the complexity of creating a single machine that can handle the diverse and specialized tasks required for high-quality turf care. Traditional methods rely on multiple machines, each designed for a specific task, leading to inefficiencies and higher costs.
Turf Gamechanger's unique approach, developed by a dedicated team of golf course and engineering experts, has finally addressed this challenge. Our innovative, smart machines are specifically designed for the unique needs of golf turf maintenance, offering a comprehensive and integrated solution that the industry has long needed but has been unable to achieve - until now.
