We are launching the premier Dill Dinkers facility in an underserved, high-density corridor of Washington, D.C. This investment represents the intersection of America's fastest-growing sport and a disciplined, site-driven development strategy.

We hold the exclusive franchise rights to open Dill Dinkers locations in Washington, D.C., elevating this beyond a single-site operating opportunity.

This opportunity is led by two partners with complementary skill sets, deep roots in the Washington, D.C. market, and the exclusive Regional Developer rights for the District, a franchise designation that grants them the sole authority to develop and operate Dill Dinkers locations across Washington, D.C.

Director of Operations

A Director of Operations has been identified and has committed to the role.

$1.5 million in seed capital funds the build-out and working capital for an 11-court regulation facility in the Fort Totten / Upper Northwest D.C. submarket.

Investors receive a tiered return structure designed to prioritize rapid capital payback followed by a perpetual high-yield equity stake.

Dill Dinkers DC holds the exclusive franchise development rights for 3–5 locations across Washington, D.C. Founding investors will be offered the opportunity to participate in subsequent Washington D.C. locations before any broader capital raise, creating a compounding opportunity for those who invest early in the platform. Participation is subject to the terms of each future offering.

Our modeling excludes high-margin revenue streams entirely and holds utilization flat once it reaches the level a comparable Dill Dinkers facility operates at today. No alcohol sales, no membership growth beyond 500 members, and no assumption that the facility ever fills further. Additional upside is modelled separately.

Washington, D.C.'s dense residential population, combined with limited indoor recreational competition, creates an unusually attractive risk-adjusted opportunity. A specific Target Site has been identified that meets strict operational criteria, with advanced lease negotiations underway.

To protect the integrity of ongoing negotiations, the specific location remains confidential pending NDA execution. However, we are actively underwriting a specific property that fits our strict operational model. Our site selection strategy prioritizes demographic density, competitive positioning, and structural suitability over opportunistic pricing.

How Distributions Work: A $100,000 Example

Our capital structure reflects a sophisticated understanding of investor priorities: capital preservation during uncertainty, rapid payback during stability, and perpetual yield post-recovery. This tiered approach aligns management incentives with investor returns while maintaining operational flexibility.

A risk-adjusted return profile. Investors receive steady cash flow with a target 100% principal return in under 5 years, followed by a perpetual equity yield. Below reflects the operating plan: utilization ramps from 47.5% at launch to 65% by year 4 and holds there.

Our operating plan holds utilization at 65% from Year 4 onward and assumes no further growth. This page isolates a single variable — what the same facility produces if demand pushes utilization to 80%. Every other input is identical: the same 500 members, the same prices, the same cost structure, and still no alcohol revenue.

There is no dedicated indoor pickleball facility operating in the District today. Players who want to play indoors leave the city. Our operating plan does not assume we capture that demand faster than a comparable suburban facility did, but this page shows what happens if being the only option in a dense, undersupplied market produces the kind of utilization that scarcity usually produces.

Performance is driven primarily by court utilization. The table below takes our Year 2 numbers and asks what happens at different levels of court usage, including one well below our plan. These are not forecasts for each year. Our actual projections follow the utilization ramp described earlier: 47.5% at launch, reaching 65% by Year 4.

Years 1–5 come directly from the operating model. Years 6–10 hold utilization flat at 65%, with no additional courts filled, and prices and costs both growing 3% a year, so margin does not improve. Rent follows the lease schedule. Investor receives 10% in Year 1, 45% until capital is repaid, and 20% permanent ownership thereafter.

Your $100,000 is returned during Year 5. Everything after that is return on an investment you have already recovered.

From Year 6 onward you receive approximately $17,300 a year, rising with pricing to $19,300 by Year 10. Your ownership does not expire. These distributions continue for as long as the facility operates. There is no maturity date and no requirement that the business ever be sold.

Your 20% ownership is permanent, but it isn't locked up. If the business is sold, investors receive 20% of the proceeds attributable to this facility as a lump sum at closing.

Illustration only. At Year 10 earnings of approximately $1.45 million and a 5× multiple, the business would be valued at roughly $7.2 million. A $100,000 position at approximately 1.33% would be worth about $97,000 at closing. Comparable operating businesses commonly transact between 3× and 5× earnings; at 4×, the same position would be worth approximately $77,000.

A $1.5 million raise for 20% implies a $7.5 million value today, close to the Year 10 figure above. That comparison treats the equity as the only thing investors receive. It isn't. The $1.5 million purchases a distribution stream that returns the full investment by Year 5 and 20% of this location permanently. By the time investors own the 20% outright, their capital is already back in their hands. The Year 10 figure is also built on earnings that exclude alcohol, events, membership growth, and any utilization above 65%.

No sale is planned, committed, or guaranteed.
