Wynaxa Sports Tech
Participation infrastructure for racket sports
We build the software that gets people onto a court — matching players, running leagues and handling the booking. Our first product, the Padel Players App, is live on iOS and Android.

Launched mid-June 2026. No paid acquisition — every signup to date is organic. Figures as at 14 July 2026.
The waitlist is the number that matters. We placed a single QR code in one venue for two weeks, ran no advertising, and did not tell anyone the app had launched. 169 players scanned it and left their details. That is unprompted demand from one site — and it is the mechanic we repeat at every venue we sign.
The Product
Padel Players App
Padel is the fastest-growing racket sport in the world, and it has a structural problem: you need exactly four players and a court, at the same time. Most games never happen because the coordination fails, not because the demand isn't there.
The Padel Players App solves the coordination. Players post availability, the app builds balanced matches from skill ratings, and the court is booked in the same flow. Leagues, rankings and results are handled automatically.
- Availability polling and automated match formation
- ELO player ratings and league standings
- Court booking integrated into the match flow
- Group, club and coach management
- Live on the Apple App Store and Google Play

The Model
We arrive with the players already in the building
Incumbent booking platforms sell software to venues and hope players follow. We build the player community first, then the venue follows the players. Every venue we sign inherits an existing local player base — and every venue we sign grows it.
Hub Core
Free
3.25% transaction fee
Court booking, player matching, league tools. No monthly fee.
Hub Plus
£49/mo
2.75% transaction fee
Adds venue management, scheduling and coach administration.
Hub Pro
£179/mo
2.25% transaction fee
Multi-site operations, advanced reporting, priority support.
Venues switching from an incumbent platform receive the Wynaxa Switching Credit — 50% of their average monthly platform cost, capped at £1,500, for the first twenty venues.
Beyond Padel
One engine. Every sport that needs four people and a court.
The hard problems — availability matching, skill-balanced team formation, league scoring, court booking — are sport-agnostic. Padel is the beachhead, not the ceiling.
