About Maya Azouri
Maya Azouri is the co-founder and COO of CatchCorner, an innovative platform that simplifies the process of booking sports facilities. From hockey rinks to soccer fields and basketball courts, CatchCorner provides athletes and recreational players with seamless access to top-tier venues across North America.
The idea for CatchCorner came when Maya and her brother, Jonathan Azouri, recognized the challenges in finding the appropriate and available spaces to play sports in their hometown of Toronto. In 2019, they launched the app to make facilities more accessible. Since then, CatchCorner has grown significantly, expanding into multiple cities in both Canada and the US, and forming key partnerships with Sports Illustrated and other organizations.
The company has played a crucial role in supporting venue operators by filling unused time slots while giving players greater flexibility in scheduling their games. CatchCorner generates $35 million annually for its affiliate partners and has over 250K active users.
As COO, Maya has been instrumental in scaling the business and overcoming obstacles along the way. One of the most significant challenges came during the COVID-19 pandemic when sports facilities across the world shut down, bringing recreational sports to a halt. Despite these setbacks, Maya worked closely with facility partners to navigate the uncertainty, ensuring that CatchCorner remained a trusted resource when restrictions were lifted. Her ability to adapt to changing market conditions and foster strong relationships with partners has been key to the company’s continued success.
This year, Maya is focused on expanding CatchCorner’s footprint even further, bringing the platform to new markets and enhancing the user experience. She is committed to strengthening partnerships with sports organizations, improving technological features to streamline bookings, and making CatchCorner a go-to solution for both amateur and professional athletes.
