40 Forty Padel is expanding access to padel as a low-barrier recreational sport that supports physical activity, connection, and intergenerational community building.

40 Forty Padel is a Greenville-based community wellness and recreation enterprise focused on expanding access to padel, a social racket sport that supports physical activity, connection, and intergenerational participation. The company’s model is built around a sport with a relatively low barrier to entry, creating opportunities for people of all ages and ability levels to participate in movement, recreation, and community building. As a local business, 40 Forty Padel also contributes to Greenville’s growing wellness and recreation economy.

In 2025, the Upstate Warrior Solution Catalytic Fund recommended a $25,000 loan through Abundance Capital to support 40 Forty Padel’s launch and growth. The agreement also includes quarterly advisory engagement with Upstate Warrior Solution, pairing capital with ongoing accountability, mentorship, and connection to the broader veteran support ecosystem. The investment reflects the role catalytic fund lending can play in supporting local businesses that contribute to health, social connection, and community-based wellness.
