Startup Slam Boulder
Founders. Funders. Fast Hands.
More dinks, less decks.
Pickleball is the new golf—faster, funnier, and more accessible. Some of us have met our closest friends on the court. Now it’s time to connect with fellow builders, backers, and problem-solvers in a new way.
Join us for a curated, high-energy half-day of play, connection, and possibility.
This is not your dad's networking event. It’s an experience designed to bring good, smart humans together... with high likelihood of dad jokes.
