In this episode, we explore the booming sport of pickleball, a fast-growing activity that's taking Malaysia — and the world — by storm. Join us as we sit down with Janet Teo, the founder of Picklefox, a local business specialising in pickleball equipment and accessories. From high-quality pickleball paddles, grips, and eyewear, to being an official distributor of top brands like Ronbus, Proton, and Paddletek, Picklefox is making waves in the pickleball community after officially launching the business in May 2024. Janet’s mission is to make pickleball accessible to players of all ages and skill levels, with products that cater to both beginners and pros. In today’s conversation, we discuss the inspiration behind Janet's journey, the early challenges of starting a pickleball business, and her exciting plans for the future — including a dedicated pickleball facility and multiple retail locations across Kuala Lumpur. Tune in to hear more about Janet's passion for pickleball, her entrepreneurial journey, and her vision for scaling Picklefox in the rapidly growing pickleball market.
