​Pitch & Social @ btrax: Exploring New Ways to Play, Connect & Improve in the City

​Ever wanted to play a sport but struggled to find someone at your level, with a similar playing style, or simply available at the same time?

Our team from Japan is exploring a new service designed to help recreational racket-sport players find the right people to play with, and the right environment to improve.

​Join us at the btrax office for a casual pitch & social where they'll share the concept, hear perspectives from the SF community, and explore how people are finding ways to stay active, improve their skills, and build community through sports.

​🎾 What to expect

​A short pitch from our Japan team
Hear about the service concept and the problem they're trying to solve for recreational racket-sport players.

​An open conversation
Whether you're an avid tennis player, a casual pickleball player, someone who wants to get back into sports, or simply curious about the idea, we'd love to hear what you think.

​🍣 Drinks + snacks
Stick around afterward for drinks, some sushi, and casual conversation with the btrax team and other guests.

​🏢 Hang out with btrax
Come meet the people behind btrax supporting cross boarder innovation and design between Japan and the US.

• ​Recreational tennis, pickleball, badminton, padel, and table tennis players

• ​People who want to play more but have trouble finding partners

• ​People interested in sports, startups, design, and consumer services
