Who should join
Part of the builder community in Aotearoa? You're in.
Some of the best ideas and connections happen off-screen. Pickleball is fast, fun, and genuinely social. The perfect way to break the ice and build real relationships with people in your world.
02
Operators
Engineers, PMs, and leaders who keep the machine running. The ones who make the thing actually work, day in and day out.
03
Backers
Angels, advisors, and investors who'd rather rally than take another Zoom. Real relationships, forged on court.
Courts across
Aotearoa.
Weekly casual sessions, post-court hangouts, and the occasional clinic or round-robin. Auckland and Wellington live now. More cities as members land.
