*This club is for founders, VCs, operators, and startup ecosystem players — past, present, and future.* ​ Padel is one of those games you can pick up at any point in your life and immediately enjoy. You don't need to be fit, you don't need a background in racket sports, you just need to show up. The court is small enough that nothing feels out of reach, and the glass walls do half the work for you. ​What makes it special is that you actually talk while you play. Between points, during rallies, after a shot that somehow worked — there's a natural rhythm to padel that makes conversation easy. You get to know your partner in a way that just doesn't happen sitting across a table. ​We had a rally once that went on so long everyone stopped caring who won the point. That's kind of the spirit of the whole thing. ​ **🎯 What to Expect** ​**Two courts, at least 8 players** — we rotate and run mini-tournaments when numbers allow. All levels, always. ​ **Real conversations** — with your partner, between points, after the game. No agenda. ​**Competitive but Chill** — good plays, better laughs, and a rematch culture. 🔄 ​**💸 €15 per person** — pay before the game: [paypal.me/alexbing2](paypal.me/alexbing2) Paying upfront keeps the courts full and the group reliable. No last-minute ghosts. Arrive 15 minutes early to warm up and meet people. ​ **⚠️ Cancellation Policy** Cancel at least 2 days before if you can't make it — someone on the waiting list will be very happy to take your spot. No-shows without notice lose their €15 deposit and get moved to the waiting list for future events. p.s.

Ever felt like days/weeks/months pass by faster than you can notice? ​We are often caught in a race, to the point we don't even know where we are going or why. ​This event is about slowing down - an afternoon to notice, appreciate, reflect and recenter. ​Small group, a mix of journalling and guided conversations. You'll work through some guided prompts to help you review your past month and plan the next one with more intention. ​It's not a workshop. There won't be any productivity hacks or optimisation strategies. It's a chance to catch up with yourself before the next month pulls you under. And have deeper conversations with strangers than most events would allow. ​**What to bring:** a blanket to sit on, a notebook and pen, and something to share with the group - snacks, fruit, whatever's in your kitchen. We will bring some drinks but if you want something specific, take it with you. ​*If the weather has other plans, we'll move indoors - you'll hear from us in advance.* **Important:** to confirm your spot, please register [here](https://luma.com/13d1zvgm)

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share
