Venco — Find a court. Book instantly. Play more.

Our story

Why we built Venco.

Finding and booking a sports court in the UK is still surprisingly painful. You call venues, check multiple websites, get put on waiting lists. We think sport should be easier to access than that.

Venco is the platform that connects players with available courts across the UK — instantly, simply, without the faff. Search by sport, location or time. Book in seconds. No phone calls, no back-and-forth.

We started in the Midlands because we know it best. We're building outward from there, working with venues who believe that accessible sport is good for everyone.

What we're building

Three things. One platform.

Phase 1 — Live

Venco started with a simple frustration. I'd been playing tennis and padel for years, and every time I wanted to book a court it was the same story — multiple websites, phone calls, checking back to see if a slot had opened up. It was 2024 and booking a court felt like booking a flight in 2002.

I built Venco to fix that. A single platform where players can search live availability, book instantly, and pay securely — without the faff. And where venue operators can fill empty court time without managing phone bookings or maintaining separate websites.

We're early, but the vision is clear: make it as easy to play sport as it is to order food or book a taxi. If you're a player, a venue, or someone who shares this frustration — I'd love to hear from you.
