SUNRISE PADEL CAPITAL

Sunrise Capital, a pioneering investment firm in Miami dedicated to accelerating the growth of Padel in the U.S., recently announced the first closing of its second fund.

As the leading investor in U.S. padel clubs with the largest footprint nationwide, including nine investments totaling 49 Padel and 19 Pickleball courts, the initial closing of their second fund brings in multi-million dollar commitments that will continue to fuel the expansion of padel club developments across the U.S. A platform targeting a combined $25 million in capital commitments, Fund II is focused on the following strategic pillars:

  • Club Development: partnering with top clubs to expand the sport’s reach and improve player experience.

  • Technology & Innovation: investing in cutting-edge tech solutions to advance the sport’s ecosystem.

  • Professionalization: building league structures, standardizing competition, and growing organized play, which enhances the sport’s maturity and ecosystem.

  • Events & Hospitality: supporting events and hospitality ventures to fuel ecosystem growth

Their second fund is holding its first closing this month, and they will further share their plans to deploy capital toward club growth, tech innovation, and professionalizing the padel ecosystem.

With their second fund aiming to capitalize on the rapid growth and increasing popularity of padel across the country, the new capital will enable Sunrise Padel Capital to maintain its leadership role in growing the sport’s infrastructure and community in the U.S. while driving value creation through a comprehensive, and ecosystem-driven, investment approach.

Prior to launching Fund II, Fund I served as a proof of concept and generated large momentum backing high-potential operators and real estate acquisitions in cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, and Denver. Enclosed are more details in their recent press release.
