Meet the Founder

Hi, I'm Josh

I'm an engineer, entrepreneur, and, most importantly, a pickleball enthusiast just like you.

A few years ago, I stepped onto a pickleball court for the first time. I was instantly hooked—the camaraderie, the strategy, the joy of the game. But there was one thing that kept pulling me out of the moment: keeping track of the score. It was distracting, and I wasn’t alone in feeling this way.

I’ve spent my career solving problems—whether designing superyachts, building software to organize complex legal data, or leading engineering teams at a health-tech startup. But when I realized the pickleball community needed a better way to track scores without breaking the flow of the game, I knew this was my next challenge.

Dropshot started as a passion project, something I built in my spare time. Along the way, it’s become so much more—a way to connect with players around the world, to bring simplicity to something that often feels tedious, and to give back to a community that’s given me so much.

Our Mission

To help pickleball players stay in the moment and focus on what matters most—the game, the fun, and the people.

We’re here to simplify pickleball scoring so players can spend less time thinking about numbers and more time enjoying the match. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or a weekend warrior, Dropshot is designed with you in mind.

Our Vision

Technology should enhance the game, not get in the way.

We believe sports should stay true to their essence. Dropshot is committed to building tools that seamlessly integrate into pickleball, making the experience better without ever overshadowing the game itself. In the future, we see Dropshot on every court, bringing players closer together and taking the game to new heights.

    Pickleball isn’t just a sport—it’s a bond between players. Dropshot exists to strengthen that connection.
