About this episode
Vaibhav Verma discusses how AI is transforming pickleball content creation and highlights the importance of addressing real problems in technology development.

From his background as a competitive tennis player and Y Combinator-backed founder to building a tool now used by the PPA Tour and Major League Pickleball, Vaibhav shares how he identified the inefficiency of editing match footage and created AI technology that automatically removes dead time, detects key moments, and generates highlight reels in minutes. Verma discusses the growing role of AI in sports, the impact of social media on pickleball’s rise, and why starting with a real problem, not just the technology, is the key to building impactful products.
