Shot Scope

David Hunter, a former electronics design engineer and secondary school teacher from the University of Edinburgh, applied to Converge in 2013 with his then project, Caddie Charger – a mobile charging device for golfers powered by a golf trolley battery. During the subsequent training, David identified new business opportunities which led him to re-enter with Shot Scope in 2014.

Shot Scope is a smart wearable that helps both amateur and professional golfers improve their play by collecting and analysing statistics from their game.

The company now offers a range of award-winning performance tracking products to help analyse performance, lower scores and handicaps including the recently launched, V5 – their latest GPS and shot-tracking golf watch.

Headquartered in Edinburgh, Shot Scope has achieved rapid growth, accelerated by a recent Series B funding round of $8.5million that will see the company move to new headquarters to accommodate a growing team of marketing, sales and customer service staff. With this new investment, the company also aims to expand geographically.
