Another Nine Raises $2M in Funding

May 8, 2026 | By Startuprise io

Another Nine, a Covington, KY-based 24/7 indoor golf simulator franchise, has raised $2 million in a funding round. Backers were not disclosed.

The company will use the funds to grow its Northern Kentucky headquarters team, speed up development of its technology for franchisees and customers—including its A9OS software—and support the expansion of its nationwide franchise network.

Another Nine has signed over 65 franchise territories across 16 states since its first deal in July 2025. The company also runs two locations in Cincinnati, with the first franchise owned stores expected to open later this spring and it reached operational profitability in Q1 2026.

Another Nine’s franchise model features private simulator suites, 24/7 self service access with no onsite staff, and Trackman gameplay in every room. Customers can book by the hour without a membership, with optional memberships, leagues, lessons and events available. Its A9OS platform manages bookings, access, memberships, and overall facility operations.

"With this capital, our focus remains the same: building a brand that golfers of all skill levels love, and supporting our franchisees in delivering that experience everywhere."
