Beyond Rawang · the tech stack.
The venue is the flagship. The software is the network. Three live, in-house apps — academy platform, events engine, venue OS — all exist today, scale at near-zero incremental cost, and ship to Sites 4–6 and up to 30 licensed sites on day one.
academy-app
academy platform LIVE 1 Sep 2026 · MetaPlay first tenantMulti-tenant academy platform — enrolment, scheduling, coach consoles, parent billing, attendance-gated grading. MetaPlay is tenant #1 from 1 Sep 2026; each new academy is a tenant on the same codebase, no per-country payment rail to rebuild. Top of the funnel: the child who trains weekly becomes the family that visits, competes and spends.
Top-ups from parents
Terms, sessions and packages pre-paid in-app — recurring, prepaid revenue, billing fully automated.
Stickiness — weekly 4×
An enrolled player trains up to four times a week — a family touching PlayTown every few days, not once a quarter.
Visible growth — /100
Attendance 40 + Spark/Focus/Game 20 each = /100 with bands. Measurable progress — the strongest retention lever in youth sport.
Funnel to events
Roster → bracket. Academy rosters feed the events engine with pre-qualified, pre-registered participants.
events-app
events.metahub.my LIVE · Malaysia SME Cup + DREAMS FH Cup runningAlready in production — Malaysia SME Cup and DREAMS FH Cup run on it today. Registration, brackets, scheduling and results across six event types; deployable at every venue in the network on the same software.
Events revenue trajectory · 40% EBITDA margin
RM 0.91m Y2 → RM 6.19m Y12 at 40% EBITDA on the Events stream (Model v2.1; group EBITDA margin ~49% at Y7). Empty weekday and off-peak inventory becomes sold capacity.
playtown-app
venue OS LIVE · booking backend builtBooking, entry, in-park spend and wallet in one flow — one identity · one wallet · one gate. Guest checkout (no sign-up friction), phone-camera QR instead of RFID, and a prepaid wallet float = negative working capital. White-label from day one for a 5% royalty from 30 licensed sites at maturity.
Booking
Guest or member checkout — sessions, combos and parties paid before the family leaves home.
Entry
Phone-camera QR gate — scan-to-enter with wristband print at the door. No RFID, no proprietary hardware lock-in.
In-park spend
Scan-to-charge POS — food, add-ons and activities on the wallet with one scan. Every ringgit captured and attributed.
Wallet reload
Bonus-ladder top-ups pull spend forward. The prepaid float sits with PlayTown.
Three apps, one flywheel.
The academy creates the habit, the events engine creates the occasions, the venue OS captures the spend — and the stack ships to the next site as software, not headcount.
Sites 4–6 (built with the RM 10m ACE raise) and up to 30 licensed sites inherit all three apps at near-zero incremental software cost. Owning one park vs owning the operating system for parks.
Develop the player
Weekly training habit, prepaid parent top-ups, /100 visible progress, rosters that feed tournament brackets.
Monetize the calendar
Six event types filling weekday and off-peak capacity — RM 0.91m Y2 to RM 6.19m Y12 at 40% EBITDA, live today.
Own the network
White-label venue OS — booking to wallet reload — deployable at every licensed site, 5% royalty from 30 sites at maturity.
Pays the capex
Builds and operates the site on third-party capital.
Brand + the three-app stack
Near-zero incremental software cost per site.

Why this matters to an investor
The RM 7m round builds one flagship — and capitalises a company that already owns three production software assets. ACE-funded Sites 4–6 open with zero software build cost; licensed sites 7–30 pay a royalty on their revenue, not capex on our balance sheet.
The flagship proves the model. The stack multiplies it. A venue company priced like a venue company, carrying a software network inside it.
