Your network shouldn't be a list of strangers.

Tsungo matches you with professionals who play your sport at your level, then gets you on the court together. Think of it as a networking app for people who'd rather be outside.

The problem

Collecting contacts isn't networking.

You can add a hundred people in an afternoon and still have no one to call when it matters. The contacts that actually change something in your career are the ones who have spent real time with you — who know how you think, not how you write about yourself.

That kind of trust doesn't come from a message request. It comes from time spent side by side.

How it works

From profile to first game in three steps.

Step 01

Tell us what you play

Your sport, your level, where and when you play, and what you do for a living.

Step 02

Get matched

We suggest people within the distance you're willing to travel, whose game and professional world fit yours.

Step 03

Connect and play

Send a request with a note about why. If they accept, the chat opens and you agree a time and a place between you.

Sports

Five ways to start.

GolfTennisPadelRunningCycling

More sports as the community grows.

★ 2 spots left

Or join something that's already happening.

Members post open games — a round with two spots free on Saturday, a Tuesday morning run from a particular corner, a padel court booked and short of a fourth. Partners run bigger ones: tournaments, club days, organised rides.

You don't have to match with anyone to start. Often the easiest first move is showing up to something someone else already planned.

Why sport

Ninety minutes beats a thirty-minute coffee.

A coffee meeting is half an hour of two people on their best behaviour. A round of golf is four hours. A padel match is an hour of reading how someone handles pressure, momentum and a bad call.

You leave knowing whether you'd want to work with them — which is the only thing a first meeting was ever supposed to tell you.

What Tsungo is for

A network, not a pipeline.

Real names, real profiles

You see who you're playing with and what they do before you agree to anything.

Matched by level

You play people who make the game worth playing — whatever your level is.

Every match is your call

Nobody books your time but you.

Relationships, not prospecting

Tsungo is built for people who want to know each other, not work a list. That's the whole point of meeting on a court instead of in an inbox.

Who it's for

  • Founderswho need the kind of contacts that don't come from a pitch event.
  • Sales and business leaderswho know that the best conversations happen away from the meeting room.
  • Specialists and consultantswhose next project usually comes from someone they've met.
  • New in town— and looking for both a network and someone to play with.

Tsungo is new, and the people joining now decide what it becomes. Come play.

Run a club, court or course?

Tsungo brings players to your courts at the hours you'd rather not leave empty — and they're the kind of members who come back.

Partner with us

Join the beta

Three steps, one of which we do by hand.

Step 01

Fill in the form

Name, email, what you do and what you play. Ninety seconds, and no password to invent yet.

Step 02

We read it

Personally — which is exactly as unscalable as it sounds, and precisely why the first members get a proper welcome.

Step 03

You get your invite

An email with everything you need to get into the app and line up a first game.

Free, and no invitation to hunt down.

Your next real contact is already on a court somewhere.

Worst case, you get a game out of it.

How it works

Five steps between signing up and shaking someone's hand.

None of them involve writing a message you'd be embarrassed to read back.

  • 01 · Build a profile people can size you up fromYour sport. Your level. Where you play, and roughly when you're free. What you do for a living and what you're working on. No summary of your professional philosophy, no headline to agonise over — the point of your profile is to help someone decide whether a game with you is worth the trip.
  • 02 · Set your rangeYou choose which sports you're open to, what level you're looking for, and how far you're willing to travel. A padel court twenty minutes away and a golf course an hour out are different decisions, and only you can make them. Change any of it whenever you like — your range in June isn't your range in November.
  • 03 · See who's actually nearbyTsungo uses your location to show you professionals inside the range you set — people whose game matches yours and whose working life is close enough to yours to be interesting. You see who they are and what they do before anything else happens.
  • 04 · Send a request worth acceptingSend a connection request with a short note about why. A shared industry, a course you've both played, a question you'd value their take on — one honest sentence does more than anything that reads like a template. If they accept, the chat opens and the rest is between you: pick a time, pick a place, book the court or the tee time yourselves.
  • 05 · Play. Then decide what happens next.Talk about work or don't. Some games turn into a client, a hire, a partner or an advisor. Some turn into a regular Thursday match, which is worth something too. There's no follow-up you're obliged to send and no connection to maintain for appearances.

Another way in

You don't have to wait to be matched.

Not every meeting starts with a request. Members post open games: a round with two spots free, a morning run from a set place, a court booked and short of a fourth. You see what's happening inside your range, and you join.

Partners put on the bigger ones — tournaments, club mornings, organised rides — and members see those the same way.

For a lot of people this is the easier way to start. The time and place are already set, there's no calendar to line up, and turning up to something already planned takes less nerve than asking a stranger for a game.

Worth saying out loud

What Tsungo isn't.

It isn't a lead list

People here came to play and to meet people properly. Treat it like a prospecting tool and you'll get the reception that deserves.

It isn't a dating app

Profiles, matching and the whole design are built around professional connections.

It isn't a rankings ladder

Your level is there so games are worth playing, not so anyone can be ranked against you.

It isn't for collecting

It's for people who want fewer connections, and better ones.

Set your sport and your range. See who's out there.

For venues

The hard part of filling a court isn't the price. It's finding someone to play with.

Tsungo matches professionals who want to play — and every match we make has to happen somewhere. Partner with us and let it happen at yours.

Talk to us

The problem you already know

An empty court at two on a Tuesday is gone forever.

Court hours and tee times are the most perishable inventory there is. Discount them and you train your regulars to wait for the discount. Leave them empty and they're simply lost.

The people who would fill those hours mostly aren't missing the motivation or the money. They're missing a partner. A padel court needs four people free at the same time; a round is more fun as a pair or a four-ball. That coordination problem is the thing standing between your quiet hours and a full book — and it's exactly what Tsungo solves.

Why our players are worth having

Professionals, playing on purpose.

They're working adults who booked this game deliberately, around a working week. They arrive on time because someone they want to impress is waiting. They eat and drink afterwards, because the point of the game was the conversation. And when a match works, they play again — with you, because that's where it worked the first time.

This isn't discount-hunting traffic. It's people forming a habit, and your venue is where the habit lives.

What a partnership looks like

Three ways in. Start with one.

One

Be the venue we point players to

When two members agree to play in your area, they have to pick somewhere. Early partners are the venues we name — and as soon as there are partners to list, the listing goes into the app.

Two

Offer a member benefit

A discounted off-peak round, a reduced court hour, a first-visit rate. You choose the offer, the hours and the limits — it should fill the gaps in your book, not undercut your prime time.

Three

Host an event

Events are already built into the app. A tournament, a club morning, an organised ride — put it in front of members directly, alongside the open games they're already joining.

Honesty, because you'd find out anyway

We're early, and you'd be early with us.

Tsungo is in beta. We are not going to quote you a number of members in your area, because the honest answer is “fewer than there will be next year” and you deserve that straight rather than dressed up.

What being early gets you: first position in your area, a say in how venue partnerships work before the rules harden, and a partner who will tell you what's working rather than what sounds good on a slide.

And it costs you nothing

The first venues come on board free, as a pilot. You decide what you'd offer, we point players to you, and we both find out what works before anyone talks about money. If partnership becomes a paid product later, you'll hear it from us in a conversation — not in an invoice.

Get in touch

Tell us about your venue.

Your sport, your location, and the hours you'd most like to fill. We'll come back with what a partnership could look like.

No booking system to connect, no software to install, nothing to pay.

About

Business has always been done on a golf course.

The round where a deal finally gets agreed. The padel match that turns into a partnership. The run where someone says what they actually think, because nobody is taking notes.

None of this is new. Sport has been where professional trust gets built for as long as there has been business to do. What's been missing is a way in. Access ran through memberships, invitations and knowing the right person already — and if you weren't in, it may as well not have existed.

That's the part we're building.

Why we built it

Somewhere along the way, networking stopped meaning meeting people.

We got tired of platforms where the work is polishing your own profile and collecting contacts you will never speak to. A connection you've never met isn't a connection. It's a number that makes you feel busier than you are.

We wanted the opposite. Fewer people, met properly, doing something we'd want to be doing anyway.

Wellbeing

Networking that leaves you better off than it found you.

The traditional version costs you something. A late dinner, another drink, an evening away from home, a morning you can feel it.

Ours costs you an hour of exercise you already wanted to take. That isn't a side benefit — it's half the point. Time is the thing working people have least of, and spending it on something that serves your network and your health is the only honest way to ask for it.

What we won't build

Some things are easier to promise by leaving them out.

No follower counts

Nothing here rewards having more of anything.

No feed to scroll

The app's job is to get you off it and onto a court.

No prospecting tools

If a feature would make Tsungo better for working a list, we won't build it.

No polishing

Your profile exists so someone can decide whether a game with you is worth the trip. That's all it has to do.

Early, and honest about it.

Tsungo is in beta and free while it is. If you think we've got something wrong, tell us — that's easier to do now than it will ever be again.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

The basics

What is Tsungo?

An app that matches professionals who want to play sport with each other — and gets them onto a court, a course or a route together. The network you end up with is made of people you've actually met.

What does it cost?

Nothing during the beta. We'll say so clearly, and in advance, if that changes.

Who is it for?

Working professionals who'd rather build a network by doing something they enjoy than by sending messages. Founders, sales and business leaders, consultants and specialists, and anyone new to a city who wants both contacts and someone to play with.

Which sports?

Golf, tennis, padel, running and cycling are the filters you can search by — the ones people find easiest to network around. What you and your match actually decide to do together is up to you.

Can I have more than one sport?

Yes. Add every sport you play and you'll be matched across all of them.

Do I need to be good?

No. Matching accounts for level, so the game is worth playing for both of you — whatever that level is.

Is this a dating app?

No. Profiles, matching and the whole design are built around professional connections.

Finding people

How does matching work?

You set your sports, the level you're looking for and how far you're willing to travel. Tsungo uses your location to show you professionals inside that range whose game and working life fit yours.

How do I get in touch with someone?

Send a connection request with a short note about why you'd like to meet. They accept or decline. If they accept, a chat opens and you take it from there.

What should I write in that note?

One honest sentence. A shared industry, a course you've both played, a question you'd value their take on. Anything that reads like a template gets treated like one.

Who books the court or the tee time?

You do, between yourselves. Tsungo introduces you and gets out of the way.

What if nobody near me plays my sport yet?

Tsungo is new, and the network grows outward from where its members already are. Widen your range, add every sport you play, and look at the open games — joining one of those doesn't depend on being matched with anyone first.

Open games and events

What are open games?

Games a member posts with room for others: a round with two spots free, a morning run from a set place, a court booked and short of a fourth. Anyone can join.

What about bigger events?

Partner venues put on tournaments, club mornings and organised rides. Members see them the same way.

Can I host one myself?

Yes. Post the time, the place and how many people can join.

Can I see who else is coming?

Yes — everyone attending is visible, including to the host.

Can a host choose who joins?

Not at the moment. An open game is open to any member who has room to join it.

Your profile, your privacy

Who can see my profile?

Other members. Your profile exists so someone can decide whether a game with you is worth the trip, so it shows who you are, what you do and how you play.

How is my location used?

To show you people and games within the range you set, and to show you to them. You control the range. [exact wording pending: precise location vs. approximate distance]

Do you verify members?

No. Members sign up with their own name and describe their own working life, and that's what you see — we don't check it for them. Use the same judgement you'd use meeting anyone new.

Can I block or report someone?

[answer pending — depends on what the app supports today]

Venues and partners

We run a club, a course or a hall. How do we work with you?

There's a page for that — see For venues. Early partners come on board free.

Do members get discounts at partner venues?

Not yet. If partner benefits arrive, you'll see them in the app rather than have to hunt for them.

Still stuck?
