About Sharper

Always a water enthusiast and avid boater, software engineer Steve Champion has spent lots of time both in front of a computer and behind the wheel of his runabout.

In 2018, a friend in the marina business asked Steve to create a program to help him evolve his marina from a completely manual, pen-and-paper business to something more operationally efficient. Neither of them had any idea that a friendly favor would be the impetus for a game-changing marina management software.

After years of rapid growth, Sharper was acquired by Greater Sum Ventures, a tech-focused private equity firm in Knoxville, Tenn. With an infusion of capital for expansion and innovation, Sharper continues to help marina owners and operators modernize their business and maximize revenue.

Steve and his wife Heather still manage Sharper (which is named after their children) and look forward to showing you the fresh user interface that’s waking the industry!
