PHOTOFor founders in Eindhoven and any passing through. Build a tight community, care for your body, sharpen your mind. Healthy body, healthy mind, great founder.
OFFICIAL POSTERVOL. 01A short story about what San Francisco gets right, what Eindhoven is missing, and why a 7am Wednesday run beats a one-off event every time.
I went to a Founders Run there. The same simple idea: show up, run, talk. Inside thirty minutes I had three conversations I'd been chasing for months. The format works because it's quiet, repetitive, and real.
In San Francisco, the magic is density — a small group of people who see each other often enough that introductions become trust. That's exactly what we're building in Eindhoven: a tight circle of founders who keep showing up for each other.
Meetings start at 08:30 at the earliest. So 07:00 fits, every week, forever. We've been running every Wednesday since September. It always happens.
A scrap-book of every Wednesday morning since September 2025 — phones up, drone overhead, coffee after.

PHOTOWednesday is the heartbeat. Once a month or quarter we host a variation — a Sunday walk, an investors run, a sponsored heat with lunch after.
Show up at Stadhuisplein. We run together and grab coffee after. Bring whoever you'd like to introduce.
Slower pace. An hour to walk, talk, and meet the rest of the community.
A relaxed Sunday run for founders and investors who actually run. Open conversation, kilometres, and lunch after.
The WhatsApp group is private. We'll send the invite by email after a quick check.
