We back community-driven clubs, leagues, and platforms scaling padel and racquet sports across the United States.
Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world. In America, it’s just getting started.
The sport is growing faster than the places to play it. Players are multiplying. Clubs, leagues, and brands are racing to keep up — and the U.S. still has a fraction of the courts per player of more mature markets in Europe. The demand is here. The supply isn’t — yet.
We don’t think the winners simply build courts. The best clubs are built on community and experience — the culture that turns first-timers into regulars. Our conviction is simple: protect that community at the core, then build the discipline to scale it. Across cities. Across markets.
We bring more than a check. Deep category expertise, and a real partnership with founders on the things that matter most — strategy, growth, and capital. We back the founders building the category from the ground floor.
Padel and racquet-sport operators with genuine local community at their core — and the model to scale across markets.
The competitive and cultural layer of the sport: leagues, live events, and experiences that turn players into fans.
The connected ecosystem around the court — retail, media, technology, and multi-venue platforms — that compounds as the sport grows.
A limited number of high-conviction investments, concentrated in padel and racquet sports.
Active partnership with founders on strategy, structure, and scaling beyond the first club.
Holding periods built around the real timeline of building enduring businesses.
We invest our own capital alongside the founders we back.
