Investor Relations
CageList is the first marketplace for batting cage rentals — turning idle backyard cages and training facilities into bookable inventory for a year-round, weather-proof sport. We're building the category, and we're open to conversations with investors who want in early.
These numbers update live from the platform — not a mockup, not a waitlist. Real cages, real coverage, real bookings.
Live counts, pulled straight from the platform database — and climbing every week.
Finding a place to hit means group texts, gatekept school gyms, and cages that sit empty most of the week. There has never been a marketplace that makes that supply bookable.
Unlike field sports, hitting practice happens indoors and off-season. Players, parents, teams, and coaches need reps 12 months a year — that's repeat, recession-resilient demand.
Backyard cages and training facilities are already built. CageList turns that dormant capacity into income for hosts and availability for players — classic marketplace liquidity.
CageList is a working two-sided marketplace with payments, booking, and trust flows live today.
Thousands of backyard cages and training facilities, searchable by location and bookable by the hour.
Stripe Connect powers a dual-fee model — a host commission plus a guest fee — with all-in pricing at checkout.
Request-to-book, waivers, reviews, and safety tooling ship today — the operational spine of a two-sided marketplace.
Revenue Story
CageList starts with bookings, then layers owner-side, builder, commerce, and directory opportunities around the same baseball demand — with software treated as future upside, not a promise.
The first revenue loop is simple: make cage time bookable, then earn through the transaction flow.
“I started CageList because getting quality reps shouldn't depend on who you know or what your school owns. There's a cage sitting idle a few miles from almost every player in America — and no simple way to book it. We're building the marketplace that changes that, the same way Airbnb did for spare rooms. We've got real inventory, real bookings, and a clear path to owning how this sport trains.”

Host verification, protection coverage, and dispute handling are core to the product, not an afterthought.
The same demand graph creates adjacent ways to monetize without forcing every surface to behave like bookings.
Directories build discovery inventory and owner acquisition paths today; deeper facility software comes only after demand validates it.
