GSE Worldwide has acquired InsideOut Sports & Entertainment, an event production company that operates The Pickleball Slam, Pro Padel League and Major League Pickleball. The acquisition marks GSE’s first entry into event production and is the third acquisition since the investment from BC Partners Credit in late 2024. The acquisition of InsideOut brings additional capabilities and opportunities to GSE’s tennis division. InsideOut was founded by Int’l Tennis HOFer Jim Courier and former SFX and Clear Channel exec Jon Venison, and Venison will join GSE as EVP and Head of the newly created GSE Productions division. InsideOut’s team will continue to operate its slate of events while collaborating with GSE to scale into new markets. GSE represents 250 athletes across golf, tennis, and the NFL, including LIV Golfer Bryson DeChambeau, tennis players Tommy Paul and Jessica Pegula, Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle and former NFLer Bo Jackson (GSE Worldwide).
