Finn Veerman@finnveerman_fitnessEveryone 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.
Pieter GrosFounderNext event
A tournament with a real final, then straight from the court to dinner and a DJ. Thirty-two founders who already run something, plus partners for the evening.
Sunset Padel, Olympiaweg 2
Past events
· Rotterdam
Drinks in the garden, one long table, and a DJ to close it out.
· Alkmaar
Everyone played the same number of matches, and nobody left without a handful of new contacts.
Our why
Long days. Big goals. A vision you can barely explain to the people around you. They support you, but they don't really get it.
For a long time, that was just 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.
For the founder done building alone. Who knows the right room changes everything.
So we built The Founders Table.
We built the table we wish we had found earlier.
Now it's yours.
Who it's for
We keep the circle small and selective. This is who it's for, and who it isn't.
Seats are limited

Excellently organised from start to finish. The mix of sport and networking made it a real success, with plenty of room to meet people and have valuable conversations. I made several interesting connections and exchanged details.
Nigel BrosContent AgencyGreat to be around so many competitive founders. Everyone from a different field, so you learn from each other and even end up collaborating. The padel event was well run, and the dinner afterwards made for excellent conversations.
Nine IngelseUGC creatorAn absolute must. Perfectly organised: everyone got the right number of matches and the catering was excellent. Beyond the padel there were valuable conversations and useful contacts. I'll be at the next one for sure.
Pepijn van ErpAI Software AgencyI find it hard to meet other founders in my own circle, and this event was the perfect solution. Super organised, everything clearly explained, and a top balance between networking and padel.
Stan JonkEcom AgencyAt first I didn't know what to expect from networking combined with sport, but the atmosphere was incredibly positive and open, exactly what you need to make new connections. A good balance between relaxation and business talk.
Dani M.Sales DirectorIt started competitively with padel, a great way to meet people and have good conversations. The dinner topped it off: we got to know each other much better and were all in stitches.

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.
