""People are meeting each other on the court . . . [and then] grabbing a beer or coffee from the grounds," says Pro Padel League CEO Michael Dorfman."
""We didn't find any user-friendly app[s] that was convenient for making a reservation for court bookings," he says. "It all started with that very basic necessity because we were not able to find a court or someone to play with.""
""The thing is that padel is a new sport," says Carro. "So it's a new club, it's a new business, and every single new business [is] considering the tech side.""
""Open matches are the perfect example of how socially adapted and how community driven we are," says Carro."
Padel has rapidly gained popularity and is now being used as a social platform for dating, particularly through the Playtomic app. This app allows players to join open matches with strangers, facilitating connections that often extend off the court. Co-founder Pablo Carro created Playtomic to address the challenge of booking courts, capitalizing on the emerging sport of padel. The app serves as a two-sided marketplace, connecting clubs and players while offering matchmaking features that enhance social interaction among users.
