Ace Padel

What Ace Padel does

Ace Padel is a US-based, privately held operator of premium membership-based padel clubs, founded in 2023 by brothers Elliot and Peter Carnello and incorporated in Florida. The company develops and operates luxury 'Social Sports Entertainment' venues combining professional padel courts with hospitality, wellness amenities, and curated social programming, targeting affluent individuals, couples, and families who value exclusivity and community alongside sport. Ace Padel plans three initial US locations: ACE Padel Coconut Grove in Miami (Summer 2026, five outdoor courts including four sheltered under a 42-foot canopy at 3805 Grand Ave), ACE Padel Denver in the RiNo Arts District (Fall 2026, five indoor plus two outdoor courts across 25,000 sq ft at 1812 35th St), and a Los Angeles club announced as 'coming soon.'

The core product is a tiered membership program — Individual ($299/month recurring plus a $999 one-time initiation fee), Couple, and Family — that grants priority court booking (7-day window, up to 5 simultaneous bookings), access to member-only amenities (sauna, cold plunge, luxury locker rooms, lounges, pro shop, full food & beverage), a complimentary welcome box, six annual guest passes, a dedicated concierge, and complimentary lessons, clinics, and PT/tune-up sessions. The technology stack is centered on an AI camera platform (computer vision) that provides members with video capture, replay, and performance analysis during play, paired with a website-driven waitlist and application process managed through the Brevo email platform.

Ace Padel's revenue model is subscription-driven, with recurring membership fees and one-time initiation fees forming the base, supplemented by usage-based court booking and lessons, F&B transactions, pro shop sales, and guest pass utilization. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via website application, supported by event-driven community building, organic social, PR (handled through Amanda Greenberg at theainitiative.com), and a scarcity-driven founding membership tier available by invitation only. The business is currently pre-revenue, with no disclosed funding rounds, headcount, or institutional investors; operating capital is being deployed into the buildout of the first two clubs ahead of their 2026 openings.
