Conquer is quickly becoming one of New York City’s most vibrant and unifying sports communities and it all started with two young founders, Louis Long and Matthew Lee.

Childhood friends turned entrepreneurs, the pair set out to build an app that would bring the joy of pickleball to every corner of the city. Today, Conquer Pickleball stands as a fast-growing NYC-based platform that connects players across the boroughs.

With access to more than 20 indoor courts throughout the week, Conquer makes it easy for New Yorkers of all ages and skill levels to jump into the action. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned competitor, the app allows you to join games, meet new people, and enjoy the sport in a welcoming, community-driven atmosphere.

Bringing pickleball to neighborhoods across New York City is something we’re incredibly excited about,” said Louis Long, co-founder of Conquer. Conquer is about more than just courts—it’s about creating welcoming spaces in different communities where people can stay active, connect with one another, and experience the energy that makes this city special,” said Long.

From the Upper East Side to the Upper West Side in Manhattan, and from Ridgewood Queens to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, there’s a high chance that you’re not too far from a Conquer Pickleball Court. All ages and levels are welcome, and there’s always a court supervisor there to pair players at the same level.

“I’m really proud that we’re able to offer local pickleball at an affordable rate so more people can get involved,” said Matthew Lee, Co-Founder of Conquer. “Our goal is to give locals the opportunity to exercise, meet new people, and enjoy a sport they love—without barriers—right in their own neighborhood,” added Lee. 

A key leader in the company’s growth is Kristian Mayor, Conquer’s VP and the driving force behind its youth initiatives. Kristian oversees programs at various schools across the city, introducing pickleball to young athletes while promoting fitness, teamwork, and confidence. His work ensures that the next generation not only learns the game but also discovers a positive, active outlet in a supportive environment.

What truly sets Conquer Pickleball apart is its mission to bring New Yorkers together. In a city known for its fast pace and endless diversity, the app has created a unique space where people connect, compete, and build friendships across boroughs. With Louis, Matthew, and Kristian at the helm, Conquer isn’t just growing a sport – it’s strengthening the fabric of NYC, one match at a time.
