FRISCO, Texas–During the VentureTech meeting here, Silvur hosted the first-ever Pickle Baller Invitational.
Silvur, which offers a retirement app, told CUToday.info, “We're about bringing retirement dreams into reach for everyone, whether it's a travel bucket list or playing pickleball with friends. From seeing pickleball played live for the first time at the Villages (the largest retirement community in America) to naming our first conference room ‘Pickleball’, the stories of retirees and their love of pickleball has been inspirational as we built Silvur. Retiring fearlessly means having the financial security to live your best retirement- whether that's spending time with family, traveling, or meeting your friends on a local pickleball court.”

“There were a few rug burns and questionable line calls but our esteemed announcers, judges and referees--Jenny Jackson, Ronaldo Hardy, Brian Lauer, Richard Ross, Jonathan Taylor, Joshua Barclay--made it a fun evening for all 36 credit union execs, investors and technologists who played plus an additional 90 members of the credit union community cheering them on,” Silvur said.
