We Built the Software We Wished We Had.
Avus Systems was founded by operators who understood firsthand that great spaces go underutilized every single day — not because of lack of demand, but because of lack of the right tools. So we built them.
Adding Value to Unused Space.
That's what Avus stands for — and it's not just a name, it's the entire point. Across the country, bars, restaurants, hotels, golf clubs, malls, airports, and small businesses are sitting on square footage that could be generating real, consistent revenue. All it takes is the right system to unlock it. Avus is that system.
Started With Golf. Built for Everyone.
Avus started with a simple observation — golf simulators are one of the best businesses a brick-and-mortar operator can add to their space. The economics are compelling, the demand is growing, and the technology has never been more accessible. But the software to actually run one? It was either too basic, too expensive, or built for someone else's business. So Tyler, Chris, and Jordan set out to build it right. A platform that handles booking, payments, physical access control, league management, and reporting — all in one place, built specifically for the kinds of businesses that actually need it. What started as a golf simulator platform quickly became something bigger. The same system that runs a simulator bay runs a private office booth, a gun range lane, or any space where customers pay for time. Avus is built to power all of it.
Built by People Who Get It.
Avus was founded by three people who bring complementary skills and a shared belief that small businesses deserve enterprise-quality tools.
Tyler Donner — Co-Founder
Tyler brings deep operational experience and a relentless focus on making the numbers work. He's the driving force behind Avus's location strategy, hardware partnerships, and commercial models.
Chris Hanson — Co-Founder
Chris brings a wide network of industry relationships and a sharp eye for business opportunity. His connections across the golf, real estate, and franchising industries are helping Avus get into the right rooms fast.
Jordan Norwood — Co-Founder
Jordan leads marketing, brand, and product vision for Avus. He's focused on making sure the platform is as easy to understand as it is powerful to use.
Every Square Foot Should Work as Hard as You Do.
Small and mid-sized brick-and-mortar businesses are the backbone of local economies. They take real risks, run lean, and compete every day against larger players with more resources. Avus exists to give those businesses a genuine edge — tools that were previously only available to well-funded operators, delivered in a platform that's simple enough to run without a dedicated IT team. We believe that if you have a great space and a great product, the software should get out of your way and let you make money. That's what we built.
One Platform. Thousands of Locations. Unlimited Potential.
We're starting with golf simulators because the opportunity is clear and the demand is real. But Avus is built for the long game. Our vision is a network of Avus-powered locations across the country — connected by a shared booking platform, a unified league system, and a membership that lets players play anywhere. For business owners, that means being part of something bigger than a single location. For players, that means access to a network of world-class spaces wherever they go. We're just getting started.
