Road to Olympic - Milan Startup Padel
Founders Games: Live the Olympic spirit Where startup founders meet, play, and grow, sparking the Olympic Flame!
Founders Games is the sports-powered event series of Sport Rebel Club supported by B4i – Bocconi for Innovation and MUSA, where startup founders, investors, and innovators come together on the road of the Olympic Torch towards Milano-Cortina 2026.
Inspired by the Olympic flame and unfolding in a series of events in Milan, each game fuels real connections, team spirit, and bold ambition. From the sand to the summit — the torch is moving forward.
Welcome to our club, where founders and venture capitalists from all stages of their journeys gather to share, learn, and grow.
Playing padel, like running a company, can be challenging.
The camaraderie and teamwork that develop on the padel court can transform a tough match into a memorable experience.
Padel tests our physical skills and ability to communicate, strategise, and build strong connections with our partners.
So, just as in business, surrounding ourselves with people we enjoy being around makes the game a test of our skills and a source of joy and lasting memories.
