InvestTrek Capital Expands Sports & Hospitality Portfolio with Investment in Bay Padel
Orange County, California (June 27, 2025)- – InvestTrek Capital, a boutique private investment firm, is pleased to announce its investment in the growth capital round for California based Bay Padel.
Bay Padel is a first-mover in California’s sports and fitness landscape, offering a unique blend of padel, pickleball, gym access, group fitness classes, grab-and-go food and beverage, and a curated pro shop with high-quality equipment. More than just a club, Bay Padel is deeply integrated into the local community, with social events and programming at the heart of its experience. The club is open to both members and guests, creating an inclusive, dynamic environment for active living and connection.
With two clubs launched in San Francisco and a third opening in Sunnyvale on July 5th, Bay Padel is quickly building momentum and brand recognition. As an early leader in California’s growing social sports movement, Bay Padel represents an important addition to InvestTrek’s expanding portfolio of forward-thinking lifestyle and wellness investments. The company is scaling its existing footprint of clubs on Treasure Island, the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco, and the soon to open location on the Google campus in Sunnyvale, CA. Additionally, Bay Padel is pursuing several new developments in collaboration with top-tier partners.
Bay Padel is founded by Matias Gandulfo and Lucas Tepman. Matias and Lucas bring significant business experience and acumen to Bay Padel in addition to a tremendous passion for growing the sport of padel in the United States. They have assembled a strong central management team including a Sports Director, Head of Growth, and Operations Manager. “The leadership team has a clear vision for Bay Padel, as well as the ability to execute. Their opportunistic partnership strategy is unique and sets Bay Padel apart from other social sports entrepreneurs,” according to Alan Flatt, InvestTrek Founder.
This investment underscores InvestTrek’s commitment to innovative sports and fitness concepts at scale.
