Managing a Sports Startup with Aaron Sheah (Courtsite) - Episode #49

About this episode

Aaron Seah discusses the journey of co-founding Courtsite and the challenges faced in the sports startup industry.

Aaron Seah was a software engineer in the UK before he decided to chase his dream to create the airbnb for sports, co-founding Courtsite. While Courtsite’s big break came with the surge of popularity of pickleball, the foundation of Courtsite’s success was built on the back of badminton and futsal court operators and a full refactor of the platform during the pandemic. Now back in Malaysia, Aaron takes the time to talk about Courtsite’s humble beginnings, building for success, challenges, future plans and everything in between. We also cover the pickleball scene and the startup / SME scene in Malaysia. © 2025 Product Uncensored. All rights reserved.
