Zack Johnson, the founder of ggCircuit, came up with the idea for his business while running his own esports arena, eBash Gaming Center. He realized that the management software used by his competitors was outdated and lacked customer engagement. Seeing an opportunity, Zack and his team decided to develop their own cloud-based software, ggLeap, which revolutionized the industry. With a strong focus on customer service and marketing efforts such as YouTube shows, ggCircuit has attracted over 700 locations worldwide and generated $4 million in revenue in the past year, with plans to double that in the next 12 months.
