About Us

Business has evolved. Networking should too.

B2B Ball brings together brand marketers, creators and deal makers who share a love for the game.

This isn't just about basketball. It's about creating real connections, building community, and opening doors through shared experiences. The goal is simple: network, hoop, and grow together.

Four years of building rooms across the country, from Shoot 360 in Las Vegas to NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles and SXSW in Austin.

Who's On The Floor

Everyone here builds something.

Tech founders, industry leaders, marketers, athletes and creators. The kind of room where a pickup game turns into a conversation that goes somewhere.

  • Tech founders
  • Industry leaders
  • Marketers
  • Athletes
  • Creators
  • Deal makers
01
Real connections
Nobody's handing out cards at half court.
02
Community
The same faces keep showing up, city to city.
03
Shared experience
You learn more about someone in forty minutes of pickup than an hour of small talk.
What We Do

Runs, activations, and the rooms around them.

We build events at the intersection of sports, culture and business, then bring brands in to be part of them.

The Runs

Full-court networking runs in major markets, timed to the moments people are already travelling for. All-Star Weekend, SXSW, Summer League, the US Open.

Brand Activations

Product testing, on-court experiential, sampling and giveaways that put brands in front of decision makers while they're playing, not while they're being pitched.

Content & Community

A high-fidelity content library out of every event, plus the cross-sector introductions that keep happening long after everyone's left the gym.

This One's Different

The US Open is in town. So are we.

Our run lands in opening week of the US Open, so the city is already full of people who flew in for a court. We're playing basketball, same as always. We just liked the timing.

Come hoop, or come talk. Plenty of people never pick up a ball and still get everything they came for.

On The Court

What a run actually looks like.

Competitive basketball, real people, and a room that keeps talking long after the last game.

Thank You

The brands that showed up for us.

Every run we've put on has been made possible by partners who believed in the idea early. Some are with us today, some rode with us for a season. All of them helped build this.
