Stellenbosch Network and Stellenbosch University invite venture capitalists, limited partners, and founders to step off the sidelines and onto the court for a two-hour padel session designed to connect minds through movement. This unique Paddle Partnership experience blends meeting, sweating, collaborating, and competing—because some of the best ideas are sparked in motion.

More than just a game, this gathering is an opportunity to connect and SWEAT together in a fun, social, and high-energy setting. Between matches, tea, coffee, and light snacks will be served, creating space to engage, recharge, and build meaningful connections in a relaxed yet dynamic atmosphere.

The Paddle Partnership event will take place just a few kilometres from the SWEAT Africa venue at the Zorgvliet Wine Estate padel courts, offering a beautiful backdrop for an active networking experience.

If you’re interested in joining this energising event, just come to the venue, no need contact the organisers. Bring your playing shoes and sportswear—padel rackets and balls will be provided. Come ready to move, connect, and play your part in something bigger.
