About us
We're a global community of founders who actually show up to share ambitions, push boundaries together, and build friendships that matter.
We match you with people who share your drive but bring different perspectives. Then we get you doing things that strip away the BS. Indoor skydiving. Rock climbing.
Adventures that remind you why you started building in the first place.

switzerland
Next to running a marketing agency, I'm obtaining my degree for which I temporarily moved to Switzerland, where it was the first time I felt fully alive.
Life had rhythm there: movement, challenge, presence. I was surrounded by people, energy, and experiences that pulled something out of me.
I was living alongside others who were also pushing themselves.2
the netherlands
When I moved back to the Netherlands to finish my degree, that disappeared. Entrepreneurship can look exciting from the outside, but it’s often incredibly lonely.
You carry the pressure alone. You make decisions alone. You move forward while everyone else seems comfortable standing still.
I remember thinking: I’m growing, but I’m doing it by myself.3
birth of apex circle
After attending dozens of networking events I was worn out and lost. Apex Circle was created for founders who know that ambition shouldn’t be a solo journey.
For people who are tired of surface-level networking, and want real connection built through doing hard, uncomfortable, exciting things together.
Because growth feels different when you’re not carrying it alone.4
adrenaline guaranteed
After sharing this idea with people around me and launching the first pilot squads, I was overwhelmed by the response. Applications kept coming in. Messages filled with excitement, recognition, and relief.
It became clear how many founders were craving the same thing: challenge, connection, and a community that truly understands the journey.
If you feel it too, this space was built for you.
The Meaning Behind
Apex Circle
In climbing, the apex is the summit, the highest point you can reach. In geometry, it's the peak of a triangle. In performance, it's the moment of peak output.
In life, it's when everything aligns.
We chose it because this community is about reaching your apex. Not in isolation, surrounded by the right people. Your circle literally determines your ceiling. The founders you spend time with shape what you believe is possible, what risks you take, how far you push.
Most people settle for a mediocre network and wonder why they plateau. We wanted to build something different. A circle of founders who are all pushing toward their peak. Together.
The experiences, the matching, the monthly gatherings, it's all designed around one idea:
your people determine your trajectory.
That's Apex Circle.
why we do this
`what DOESN’T work
cut the bs
Networking events are designed to fail. Everyone's pitching, everyone's defensive, everyone's out to sell you something. Real connection is impossible in that environment.
what actually works
Adrenaline cuts through the small talk
When you're indoor skydiving or rock climbing, you can't perform. You're present. Your guards are down. Real conversation happens naturally after, not forced small talk at a conference.
the gap
the missing piece
What if we built a system around that? No one was combining these things. No one was intentionally matching founders and creating experiences that force genuine connection.
why now
apex circle to the rescue
Founders are exhausted by the networking grind. They want real community, relatable people to talk to, not another conference or LinkedIn group. They want people who get the journey, not just their résumé. Apex Circle is what they've been looking for.
