What Point does

Point is a racket sports and lifestyle club operating on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic, between Sosua and Cabarete. The facility combines 7 professional padel courts — built with Spain-manufactured turf to international tournament standard — and 4 pickleball courts surfaced with the Official Court Surface of the USA Pickleball Association. Surrounding the courts are hospitality amenities including a specialty coffee shop and bakery, parking, showers, and a chill zone, positioning Point as a destination venue rather than a pure court-rental operator.

The company monetizes through four revenue streams: usage-based court rentals booked online, recurring membership subscriptions, one-time private and group coaching plus kids academy fees, and on-site food and beverage sales. Customer acquisition is largely direct-to-consumer, combining self-serve online booking via the PlayByPoint platform, WhatsApp-based lesson inquiries, Instagram-driven lifestyle marketing, and community-led tournaments and social nights that drive word-of-mouth and repeat visits. The primary customer base spans local sports enthusiasts, families with children in the kids academy, and tourists and expats visiting the Sosua/Cabarete corridor.

Operationally, Point is a small private operator: it received a single $500,000 funding round in January 2018 and has since operated a single physical venue. No financial disclosures, follow-on funding, expansion into additional locations, or management team information are available in the source material, which limits visibility into unit economics, occupancy, and forward strategy.
