We're building what we needed ourselves
Ace started because we couldn't organise a game across three WhatsApp groups. ClubBrain started because the clubs we play at were fighting the same chaos from the other side of the net.
We started with players. The Ace app solves what actually decides whether someone plays once a month or three times a week: finding a game, finding people at your level, and feeling like you belong somewhere. Today Ace has 8,371 players who have played 11,988 matches together.
Then something we didn't plan for happened. Clubs started reaching out to us. Not about software, but about players. They had a packed Saturday morning and an empty Tuesday afternoon, and no booking system could move that needle, because a booking system can't bring people in.
So we built ClubBrain. A complete club management system that's wired into the player network from day one. Not an integration, not a partnership, not "connected via API". One platform, both sides of the net.
What we believe
You don't pay for your own customers.
We take no commission on bookings. Ever.
Prices are on the website.
"Pricing on request" means someone is asking how much you can take.
No lock-in.
Your club's data is your club's data. We export it on request, no notice period and no fee. Self serve export is coming in January 2027.
The rating belongs to the player.
Change clubs and your level, history and profile come along.
Support is people.
You get answers from someone who plays padel and builds the thing.
We don't promise what isn't shipped.
If it's listed as a feature, it works. If it's coming, it says so.
