Hyperspace Ventures has made a significant commitment to the future of pickleball with a $5.3M investment into Pickleball Inc., the parent company of numerous leading pickleball entities.

The investment represents a double down on Hyperspace’s existing investments into the key players in pickleball, including: United Pickleball Association, PPA Tour, Major League Pickleball, DUPR, PickleballCentral.com, TopCourt, Pickleball.com, The Picklr, PickleballTV, Just Courts Construction, Pickleball Tournaments, and more.

Pickleball continues to surge in popularity as the fastest growing sport in America. Recent data from Pickleheads shows over 48 million people in the U.S. playing the sport in 2024—up 223% over the last three years. As of 2023, the pickleball market was tapped at over $1.5B valuation. Global growth mirrors these impressive domestic figures, with the PPA Tour recently expanding into Asia and Australia.

The sport’s boom in popularity has caught the eye of top athletes & celebrity investors including LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Scottie Scheffler, Drake, Dude Perfect, Michael B. Jordan, Mark Cuban, Gary Vaynerchuk, and many more.

"Our continued investment into pickleball underscores our belief in the sport's future," said Taylor Meyer, Managing Partner at Hyperspace Ventures. "With our partners, we’re excited to help grow and support the communities, leagues, and businesses that are shaping this dynamic market. This $5.3M investment is just the beginning."

This move represents Hyperspace Venture’s largest single investment to date, following our $1.2M collective funding into Learn to Win and Bezel in 2024. It also continues our broader trend of supporting companies beyond software design and development services.
