Built by people who
live the sport.
Raydel wasn't designed in a boardroom. It was built by a player who became obsessed with the problem, partnered with an engineer who knew how to solve it.
Raymond
Cecora
A successful entrepreneur, real estate investor, developer, and seasoned professional with a track record of turning ideas into reality — and making the impossible happen.
Ray has spent over four years immersed in padel — not casually, but completely. Based in Miami, one of the most internationally recognised padel destinations in the world, he has built deep relationships with club owners, coaches, and the players who define the scene. Padel isn't a hobby — it's an obsession, a lens, and a daily discipline.
His background in real estate gives him something rare in the sports-tech world: the instincts of a builder, not just a founder. He has operated in high-stakes environments where execution is everything, assembled teams around complex multi-year projects, and learned how to push a vision past the point where most people give up. That experience maps directly onto what it takes to define a global standard.
What makes Ray the right person to build Raydel isn't any single skill — it's the combination. He is a forward thinker and a systems builder, someone who sees the architecture of a market before others recognise the problem. He identified the gap in padel's performance infrastructure not as an analyst studying a trend, but as a player who felt the gap every single match.
"Padel players around the world deserve a standard rating system based on an individual's performance. That is why we had to build this technology and create a Universal Padel Rating."
Christopher
Cecora
A seasoned software engineer, tech entrepreneur, and full-stack architect — the technical spine of Raydel.
Christopher brings deep engineering experience built across real-world product environments. As co-founder and software developer at LabFindr, he has shipped production systems that operate at scale — combining backend architecture, mobile development, and platform thinking into a body of work that goes far beyond code.
His technical profile is a natural fit for what Raydel demands: a dual-device capture system coordinated in real time, a machine learning pipeline that classifies individual shots from video, and a rating engine that needs to process millions of data points reliably and consistently. Christopher doesn't just build software — he designs systems that hold.
What makes the Raydel founding partnership particularly strong is the complementary gap between the two. Ray brings the market, the sport, and the vision. Christopher brings the engineering fluency to close the distance between idea and product. Together, they are the full stack — from the padel court to the codebase.
