Dink to Deals: Executive Pickleball for Triangle Decision-Makers

Dink to Deals is a $10 Thursday morning session at Pin Point Pickleball Club, 2201 S Wilmington St, Suite 145, Raleigh, NC, that pairs structured conversation with pickleball for CEOs, CFOs, founders, business owners, fractional executives, PE and M&A professionals, and other senior leaders. It runs from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM, and this listing is for Thursday, December 10, 2026.

The morning has two parts:

• 8:00 to 9:00 AM, Executive Exchange Hour: light breakfast and structured introductions, followed by a round robin conversation in which everyone gets equal airtime.
• 9:00 to 11:00 AM, Pickleball: courts are grouped by skill level, with competitive and social options. Newer players are welcome.

The one firm rule is that nobody sells or pitches during the session. The organizers say the aim is to build trust first and let business follow. First-time visitors are guided through the Exchange Hour. Anyone can visit, and invited guests and partner referrals from outside the Meetup platform are also welcome.

Bring court shoes or clean athletic shoes. Bring your own paddle if you have one, as loaner paddles are available. Business cards are optional. To reserve a spot, sign up through Meetup or go to www.dinktodeals.com. You can also text or call Hilda at 720-296-3665.
