SYD Startup Ball Run - KGV - Fri, May 8th at 8am
Pick-up basketball where founders and investors actually meet between fast breaks, leave with contacts and maybe a win.
You'll play casual five-on-five basketball with founders, investors, and tech community regulars who actually show up to make connections. Games run back-to-back so you're constantly rotating onto courts with different people, which beats standing around a networking room. Afterwards the organisers share LinkedIn profiles of attendees to help you follow up on conversations that happened between plays. Bring a light and dark shirt so teams can sort quickly, and expect a mix of competitive and genuinely friendly vibes. This is the crowd that treats half-court layups the same way they treat pitch decks, so energy stays high.
