We rented out Mullet Arena — yes, the 5,000 seat arena in Tempe — for an unforgettable tech community pickleball tournament, hosted by Mat Capital.

Whether you’re a seasoned player or have never picked up a paddle, this is your chance to rally with Arizona’s builders, founders, engineers, VCs, and creators — on the same court.

🎯 Why We’re Doing This

Arizona’s tech scene is growing fast — but real community happens offline. This is your chance to connect beyond the Slack threads and Zoom calls. Come play, cheer, laugh, and build something bigger together.
