RALEIGH – Global Value Commerce also known as Global Golf has raised a mix of debt and other funds for its ecommerce operations.
Known as the “world’s largest ecommerce platform for pre‑owned golf equipment and new golf gear,” GVC has raised $1.365 million from 12 investors, according to an SEC filing.
GVC wants another $135,000.
The company and the golf industry in general received a boost earlier this year when Tiger Woods won the Masters.
And serial investor Scot Wingo labeled GVC as one of the Triangle’s most promising companies earlier this year.
“[CEO] Ed Byman was a pro golfer on the PGA tour and in 2001 realized there was an opportunity to sell golf equipment online. He’s built GVC into a global golf company carefully tucked away here in Raleigh,” Wingo wrote.
