1club Raises €2.2M Seed Led by BrightCap Ventures

1club Raises €2.2M Seed Round

1club, an AI-native management platform for sports and fitness businesses, has raised €2.2 million in Seed funding. The round was led by BrightCap Ventures, with participation from Launchub Ventures.

What 1club Does

1club builds management software for gyms, studios and clubs. The platform combines memberships, scheduling, payments, marketing, websites and branded mobile apps in a single system — an AI-native approach to the operational stack that fitness businesses typically assemble from multiple disconnected tools.

The company also operates the consumer-facing 1club Sports Network, where people discover and book activities. That gives 1club a presence on both sides of the market: the businesses that run the operations and the consumers who book into them.

Traction and Reach

According to the company, the platform is already used by businesses in more than 40 countries across more than 10 sports. That geographic and vertical spread at the Seed stage suggests the product is not limited to a single fitness niche or market.

Founding Team

1club was founded in 2025 in Bulgaria by Miroslav Miroslavov and Martin Kirov. Miroslavov is the founder of OfficeRnD, giving the team prior experience building and scaling software for space-and-membership-based businesses — a background that maps closely to the gym, studio and club segment 1club now targets.

Why It Matters

Fitness and sports businesses run on a fragmented set of tools — one for billing, another for class scheduling, another for marketing, another for the member-facing app. 1club's pitch is consolidation: one AI-native system covering the full operational surface, plus a consumer network that feeds discovery and bookings back into member businesses.

For a Seed-stage company, operating across more than 40 countries and 10-plus sports indicates early international pull. The involvement of BrightCap Ventures as lead and Launchub Ventures alongside provides the company with regional venture backing as it looks to expand its footprint in the sports and fitness software market.
