Revenue Before Opening: The Founders Club Model
We generate membership revenue, build community, and create cash flow before the doors ever open.
Most hospitality and retail businesses start at zero.
They sign a lease, build the space, hire a teamβand then hope customers show up.
Weβve designed a different model.
At Links Golf Cafeβ’, we begin generating revenue, building community, and locking in members before opening day.
Why our first Founders Club Member, Randy Lovstuen,
Mortgage Broker joined immediately.
What Is Founders Club?
Founders Club is a premium, limited membership offered before a location opens.
It is designed for entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals who want:
a place to connect
a place to host
a place to belong
And most importantly:
π a platform to grow their business and relationships
Why It Works
Most entrepreneurs donβt need more tactics.
They need:
better relationships
better environments
better access
Founders Club delivers all three.
It creates a natural, enjoyable environment where business happens organically through:
shared experiences
consistent interaction
real relationships
What Members Receive
Each Founders Club membership is built around three core pillars:
1. Play & Host
Unlimited indoor golf
Access to 55 world-class courses
Annual food & beverage credit
A premium environment to host clients and guests
2. Belong & Connect
A βhome baseβ for relationships
A consistent place to meet, host, and connect
A frictionless environment for business conversations
3. Accelerate
Access to the Back Nine Board of Advisorsβ’ Mastermind
Structured mastermind sessions
Referral and growth strategies
A curated network of growth-minded entrepreneurs
Pre-Sale Revenue Model
This is where the model becomes powerful.
Founders Club memberships are sold before opening, generating:
upfront membership revenue
early cash flow
committed customer base
built-in community
π before the business is even operational
Built-In Demand from Day One
By the time a location opens:
members are already enrolled
relationships are already formed
events are already planned
revenue is already flowing
This eliminates one of the biggest risks in hospitality:
π starting from zero
Limited, Exclusive Membership
Founders Club is intentionally limited.
π Only 100 members per location
This creates:
exclusivity
demand
status
strong community dynamics
Founders Club is not just a membership. Itβs a signal.
Aligned with the Full Business Model
Founders Club is not a standalone offer.
It feeds directly into:
memberships (recurring revenue)
food & beverage (usage)
events (hosting)
masterminds (high-value clients)
π making it a core driver of the entire ecosystem
Why This Matters for Area Developers
For Area Developers, this model provides:
revenue before opening
faster ramp to profitability
built-in customer base
reduced marketing risk
stronger community engagement
Not Just a Membership - A Strategic Advantage
This isnβt just a perk.
It is a strategic advantage that most businesses do not have.
While others are trying to attract customers after openingβ¦
π you already have them.
A Smarter Way to Launch
The Founders Club model transforms the traditional launch model:
From:
build β open β hope
To:
sell β build β open β scale
Why consider a franchise instead of building it on your own?
The advantage comes down to three key factors: proven systems, strategic buying power, and marketing designed to drive results.
At Links Golf Cafeβ’, this is amplified by our AI Revenue Operating System and eight integrated revenue streams - working together to simplify operations, increase efficiency, and maximize performance across every location.
