Milan Startup Beach Volley - Founders & Rebels #9
About this event
This club is for founders, VCs, operators, and startup ecosystem players — past, present, and future.
Beach volleyball is deceptively chaotic. No walls, no ceiling, an unpredictable surface underfoot. Every rally is a small crisis — and then you reset, serve again, and trust your partner.
Sound familiar?
Six people, one ball, zero margin for ego. Beach volley punishes solo heroics and rewards teams that communicate fast, cover each other's blind spots, and stay calm when the sand shifts beneath them. Which is basically co-founding in the sun.
Whether you've played seriously or haven't touched a volleyball since school, come for the rallies, the dives, and the kind of conversations that only happen when everyone's a little sweaty and no one's checking their phone.
No pitch decks. No panels. Just sets, spikes, and real talk with people who get the startup life.
🎯 What to Expect
Mixed-Level Games — We play with at least 6 people per court. Got a bigger crew? We rotate and run a mini-tournament. All levels welcome. First time on sand? Perfect.
Founder-to-Founder Connections — Meet fellow founders, VCs, angels, and operators in a setting where hierarchy dissolves in the heat.
The Rally Effect — The best conversations happen between points. Bring energy, not a script.
Competitive but Chill — Good plays, better laughs, and a rematch culture. 🔄
💸 €10 per person — Pay before the game: paypal.me/alexbing2
Payment upfront helps confirm your spot is real and keeps the group reliable — no last-minute dropouts, no half-empty courts. Arrive 15 minutes early to warm up and meet the crew.
⚠️ Cancellation Policy If you can't make it, please cancel at least 2 days before the event — there's always a waiting list and someone who'd love your spot. No-shows without notice will be moved to the waiting list for future events and forfeit their €10 deposit.
