Announcing Dakota as the Official Financial Service and Presenting Sponsor of the NSL

The National Squash League is proud to announce Dakota as the Official Financial Service of the NSL and the Official Presenting Sponsor of the 2026 season.

Like the National Squash League, Dakota moves fast — built on speed, discipline, and precision — and operates where performance actually matters. Both are focused on the details, the margins, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

Dakota is a financial, software, data and media company based in Philadelphia, PA. Dakota’s flagship product, Dakota Marketplace, is a database of Limited Partners (LPs), General Partners (GPs), Private Companies and Public Companies used by thousands of fundraising, deal, and investment teams worldwide to raise capital, source deals, track peers, and access comprehensive data—all in one global platform.

Since 2006, Dakota’s mission has been simple: help others get what they want out of life. Whether through Dakota Marketplace, their client support, or empowering fundraising partners, everything they do is rooted in service.

Beginning with the 2026 season, Dakota will become deeply integrated across the NSL’s on-court, broadcast, and digital platforms. As part of the partnership, Dakota will receive exclusive logo placement on the front of all official NSL player jerseys, ensuring the Dakota brand will be at the center of every NSL competition and event throughout the season. 

Dakota will also serve as the Official Powerplay Sponsor of the NSL, attaching its name to one of the league’s signature rules. Every powerplay announcement will now be “The Dakota Powerplay” at every NSL match, with associated on-screen branding during live streams and broadcasts. 

The NSL mission is to make squash major league and Dakota aligns with that mission. Just like the NSL is changing the game of squash, Dakota is changing the way investment is managed and allocated through their ability to navigate complex markets with clarity and conviction.

As squash continues to grow in the U.S. ahead of its Olympic debut in 2028, the NSL remains focused on forging partnerships that help shape the future of the sport. The league is excited to welcome Dakota as the Official Financial Service of the NSL and the Official Presenting Sponsor and looks forward to working together throughout the season.
