What we look for.
We're optimising for a high-trust, high-quality room. Most of our members are operators building something real — funded or bootstrapped, early or scaling.
- Founder, co-founder or partner in a real business
- Comfortable with racket sports (any level)
- Looking for community, not lead-gen
- Available for at least one session a month
Sport is the format. Community is the product.
Every part of the club is designed to create the kind of repeat, in-person, low-stakes contact that real relationships need.
Meet like-minded founders
Vetted members. Real conversations. Zero networking-event awkwardness.
Build trusted relationships
Repeat play creates real friendships, not just LinkedIn connections.
Stay active through sport
Move your body, clear your head, become a better operator.
Compete in a friendly environment
Tournaments, ladders and seasonal cups — fun first, ego optional.
Members-only dinners
Long-table founder dinners after sessions — the best ideas happen here.
An engaged Slack community
Hire, raise, ask for intros, share wins and losses — between sessions.
