The exclusive club for founders
Welcomed founders
And 94 more at the table.
Everyone here is actually building something. One afternoon gave me more than a year of networking events.
Joshua KaatsFounderSport as an opener works. You get to know people better in one afternoon than over ten coffees.
Dylan WijnbergenFounderNo pitches, no politics. Just founders who understand what you're dealing with, and help you fix it.

At the table
Before you ask
A club for founders that meets around sport and a long table. An evening starts on the padel court and ends at dinner, and the point of the whole format is that you have already played together before you ever talk business.
Founders who already run something. Not people planning to start, and not people who came to sell to the room. That is the entire filter, and it is the reason the evenings work.
Not on its own, and we will not pretend otherwise. But most of those groups are paid access to a chat and a calendar. This is a room, in person, a handful of times a year, capped at what fits around one table. A hundred founders who have solved the thing you are stuck on, in a setting where asking is normal. What you do with that is yours.
Joey van de Kerkhof and Lars van den Burg. Both founders, both still running their own companies. Everything you see here we organised ourselves, and every application is read by one of us.
No. Teams are drawn on the spot, so you end up mixed in with every level there is. A good part of the table comes for the dinner and plays one match because everyone else is.
By invitation. You can apply here, and we go through every application ourselves. If it is a fit you hear from us before the next date is announced.
Every few weeks, and we would rather host a handful of evenings a year that people clear their calendar for than one a month that half the table skips. Padel and dinners around Amsterdam and Alphen aan den Rijn, and an evening in Bali this October.
Apply anyway. It is not a commitment, it is a conversation about whether this is your kind of room. If it is not, we will say so, and that saves you an evening.

Our why
Long days. Big goals. A plan you cannot really explain at a birthday party. The people around you support you, but they don't get it. For a long time we took that as the price of the game.
Then we found our people. Founders who'd been through it. And everything shifted: our business, our mindset, our pace.
So in July 2026 we booked a padel court and invited the founders we already knew. Four evenings later there are more than a hundred, and the format has not changed: play first, sit down after.
We built the table we wish we had found earlier, and now it's yours.

Access by invitation
Each month we welcome only a handful of new founders. Because the quality of the room determines the quality of everything that happens in it.
