Run & Cocktail - ”Finding the Why in Hardship” Insights from Founders and Athletes

​Athletes. Entrepreneurs. Different arenas, same DNA.

​Like entrepreneurs, athletes navigate failure, build resilience, and keep moving with purpose. Whether launching a product or chasing a finish line, the game is the same: vision, discipline, and the human team you bring along.

​At Serena, Kima, Clover and Pitch in Motion, we see sport and entrepreneurship not just as parallels, but as forces that amplify each other. We are bringing together the people who embody this spirit: founders and elite athletes, for a powerful evening.
