Clubspeed Acquires Vantora to Extend Leadership into Axe-Throwing and Paintball Markets

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, leading venue management software provider Clubspeed announced the acquisition of Vantora, a fast-growing online booking and waiver management software vendor. Clubspeed will acquire Vantora for an undisclosed sum in an effort to expand its market leadership and product portfolio.

"The momentum Clubspeed is building with the acquisition of Vantora uniquely positions our business to continue scaling as we integrate exceptional products for Family Entertainment Centers," said Alok Pandey, CEO of Clubspeed. “Solving our customers' pain points through software and modern technology is vital as we find ways to drive more revenue, streamline their operations, and enhance the guest experience.”

With this acquisition, Clubspeed now serves more than 700 customers across more than 46 countries.

"I am thrilled to welcome Vantora to the Clubspeed family as we work to build the best all-in-one venue management software solution for family entertainment centers," said Clubspeed Executive Chairman Romir Bosu. “It’s an honor to work and collaborate with Larry Dague, who we respect as an incredible and talented entrepreneur, and who is highly respected in the industry, especially for axe-throwing and paintball venues.”

Vantora Founder Larry Dague will be retained by Clubspeed as a consultant and will work closely with the Clubspeed team post-acquisition to help ensure a successful experience for customers.

“Clubspeed is the premier software solution for growing family entertainment centers. Their current system is full-featured and very robust,” said Dague. “The Vantora booking system will allow them to offer a lower-cost solution to their portfolio, while also providing the option for a more robust system if Vantora customers choose to move to their existing platform as they grow – and I’m confident Clubspeed will be the right solution for my customers to satisfy their growing business needs.”
