Founders Court: price, who can join and alternatives
Founders Court is a German-language padel community that brings founders, entrepreneurs and investors together on court instead of at a networking event. Its Berlin evenings run at PBC Center and PadelBros, with a rotating format so everyone plays with different people, then drinks and food. It also runs Female Founders Court evenings and is active in seven cities across Germany, Switzerland and Spain.
