Ryan Engle – Founder and CEO of Golf+ – on how his app is lowering the barriers to entry for golfers around the world. The VR golf game has grown from a putting simulator to a full 18 hole experience, and has partnerships with the PGA TOUR and Topgolf. 54% of users are non-golfers, and the average user is a decade younger than the average golfer.

Ryan also shares details about his background in tech and entrepreneurship in the early days of the App Store l. He thinks VR is yet to have its “iPhone moment” but that it’s a question of when, not if.
