About Clutch

Clutch is on a mission to build a global community for racket sports players — powered by an AI camera infrastructure that helps players re-live their best moments on court and track their progress with game analysis.

Our initial focus is padel, the fastest growing sport in the world. We’ve spent the past year designing and building our own camera, the Clutch Cam. In December 2024, we’ve started our initial roll-out of the Clutch Cam in partnership with several high-level clubs and investors, from the US to Europe to the Middle East.
