One holding company. Five brands that train the coaches, build the facilities, fill the courts, and grow the fastest-growing sport in the world.
Pickleball doesn't need another paddle company. It needs infrastructure. We build the layer the entire sport runs on.
Every new club faces the same three problems: who coaches it, how it gets built, and how it fills its courts. Most operators solve them piecemeal, expensively, and too late.
Heleus Holdings owns the answer to all three, and the layers around them. RPO certifies and develops the coaching workforce. JDC designs and launches profitable facilities. StackEleven Marketing keeps those facilities full. GrowMyClub is the software running underneath. 150+ Health grows the player base itself.
A facility designed by JDC staffs its programs with RPO-certified coaches, grows membership through StackEleven, and runs on GrowMyClub. One relationship becomes five revenue streams, and every new club makes the network more valuable, in the U.S. and internationally.
RPO sets the standard for what it means to coach pickleball professionally. A structured certification pathway, from foundational training through master-level credentials, built on a modern curriculum that blends online coursework with in-person workshops led by elite practitioners.
Beyond certification, RPO is a career platform: continuing education, job placement, and the tools coaches need to build real coaching businesses, operating across North America and Asia.
JDC takes operators from raw site to opening day: site selection and critique, facility design, vendor sourcing, staffing, programming, and pre-opening training. Every engagement is tailored to its market, the opposite of a one-size-fits-all franchise playbook, with a flat fee and no royalties.
The result is a portfolio of clubs that consistently outperform industry benchmarks, from neighborhood facilities to premium signature builds.
StackEleven Marketing does one thing: fill courts. Paid ads, websites, design, CRM, and a sales team that closes, the complete growth engine for club operators, sharpened by data from a portfolio of clubs no generalist agency can match.
An AI-driven delivery model keeps campaigns fast and margins strong, with proprietary full-funnel attribution that ties every dollar of ad spend to booked courts and sold memberships.
Five disconnected tools, replaced by one platform. Email, text blasts, retention automation, CRM, power dialer, and real ad ROI attribution, with campaigns an operator can build by describing them in a sentence.
GrowMyClub plugs into PodPlay, CourtReserve, and Meta, so campaigns trigger on real bookings and revenue ties back to real ads. Built by StackEleven, powered by JOOLA, and sold as subscription software to clubs everywhere.
150+ Health packages the sport as preventive healthcare: a mobile app with guidance from top pros and health professionals, premium JOOLA equipment, and a community built around the evidence-based 150-minutes-a-week activity standard.
Designed to be covered by insurers and employers, so for many members the healthiest way into pickleball costs nothing. Every new player it creates feeds the rest of the flywheel.
Certified coaches surface operators ready to build. Coaching demand maps where the next club should go.
Every facility JDC opens needs members on day one. StackEleven is in the room before the doors open.
Everything the agency learns filling courts gets productized into GrowMyClub, software any club can run.
Health coverage turns non-players into players. More players need more courts, more coaches, more clubs.
Heleus isn't just an investment fund. It's an incubator. We take ideas and the entrepreneurs behind them and build real businesses around them, with capital and operators in a flywheel that's already built.
Incubating with Heleus doesn't mean you start from zero. You get a full back-office suite, so you can focus on building the business without the drag. Nearly everything in our portfolio we built ourselves, from the ground up. The rest we brought into the fold and developed the same way.
We're open to ideas, startups, and pre-existing businesses, in the U.S. and internationally, with offices in Dallas and Ho Chi Minh City. If it makes pickleball bigger, we want to see it.
