Briefly

Poolhouse, a new tech-enabled pool entertainment business based in London, has successfully raised $34M in its seed funding round led by Sharp Alpha and dmg ventures. Notable investors include David Blitzer and Simon Sports. Poolhouse plans to use the funds to launch venues starting with a large site near Liverpool Street Station. The company aims for international expansion while providing a unique pool experience through advanced technology and a diverse range of interactive games. Co-founder Steve Jolliffe emphasizes their ambition to make a significant impact on the sport.
Poolhouse is the most ambitious and scalable concept my brother and I have created, representing the pinnacle of our lifelong work. Today, more people play at Topgolf than on traditional golf courses in the US, and we aim to make an even greater impact on the world of pool.
The Poolhouse experience heralds the most significant transformation in the history of a nearly 700-year-old sport. We provide patented technology and a Las Vegas-inspired ambiance that offers guests of all skill levels an engaging experience through a diverse library of interactive pool games.
