PadelShot

What PadelShot does

PadelShot is a France-only operator of indoor padel clubs, founded in 2018 with its first site in Caen-Mondeville (2020). As of 2026 it runs 14 clubs across multiple French regions with 112 courts (including 8 single courts), all indoor and climate-controlled, staffed by 51 employees. The company has built a registered brand and a scaled community of 52,000+ registered clients, 7,500 weekly players, and 40,000+ monthly visitors, supplemented by 700+ annual tournaments and 190+ leisure animations.

The business operates a multi-revenue model: (1) court rental at €7-€20 per player, the core utilization-driven engine; (2) academy and individual coaching at €45/hour; (3) B2B Ligue Entreprise seminars and events serving 300+ companies at €25-€45 per person; (4) naming rights; (5) F&B; and (6) annual loyalty cards priced at €249-€399 that create a subscription-like revenue layer. Technology infrastructure is centered on the Playtomic booking and community platform (migrated in 2024), with Babolat as equipment partner and Agence Bôjeu on web design.

The forward strategy is geographic replication: four additional clubs are slated for 2026 (Clermont-Ferrand, Le Mans, Lille, La Ville-aux-Dames) and two more for 2027 (Beauvais, Chartres), backed by investment from Nouvel Atlas, which entered the capital in 2023. Capital structure shows share capital of €1,084,909, but no top-line revenue is disclosed publicly.
