Playtomic

Playtomic is a leading technology platform and app dedicated to racket sports, connecting players with clubs and facilitating court bookings worldwide. The company offers a comprehensive solution for racket sport enthusiasts to find courts for padel, tennis, and pickleball, organize matches, connect with other players of similar skill levels, and join a vibrant global community. Beyond player services, Playtomic also provides advanced Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for sports clubs, enabling them to streamline operations, manage bookings, create social activities, and optimize court occupancy.

The company was founded in 2017 by Félix Ruiz, Pedro Claveria, and Pablo Carro, with a vision to digitize the racket sports industry. Their initial motivation stemmed from the observation that booking sports facilities was often more cumbersome than other leisure activities, aiming to leverage technology to simplify the process for both players and club owners. Playtomic has since evolved from a booking app into a comprehensive marketplace and social network for racket sports, significantly contributing to the global growth of sports like padel.

Playtomic has demonstrated strong growth, supported by multiple funding rounds. The company has raised a total of $208.35 million across seven funding rounds. A notable Series C round in March 2025 secured $70 million (€55 million in equity and €10 million in debt financing from Banco Santander). This round was led by Match Invest and Luxembourg Finance House (LFH), with participation from investors such as Bonsai, Arconas, GP Bullhound, and FJ Labs. Additionally, Playtomic successfully raised over €5.1 million (approximately $6 million) through a community investment campaign in December 2025, allowing its users to directly participate in the company's growth. The capital raised has been instrumental in bolstering Playtomic's global presence, particularly in the US market, and enhancing its product and technology offerings.

The founding team, including Félix Ruiz, Pedro Claveria, and Pablo Carro, brings a strong entrepreneurial and technological background to Playtomic. Some founders have prior experience in successful digital ventures, such as Tuenti, a prominent Spanish social networking platform. This expertise in building and scaling digital businesses has been crucial in Playtomic's rapid expansion and its ability to innovate within the sports technology sector. The company's focus on technology-driven solutions and community building underpins its strategy for continued international growth and market leadership.
