A Tournament with a Purpose

Drive & Thrive was about much more than chasing birdies. It brought together blockchain founders, fintech innovators, investors, and business leaders for a day where conversation flowed as easily as the game. Players mixed competition with connection, using the relaxed setting of the course to exchange ideas, explore opportunities, and form genuine partnerships.

The atmosphere was deliberately different from a typical conference or boardroom. Here, introductions happened between swings, and business cards were swapped with a handshake on the green. The balance of lighthearted competition and strategic dialogue made the event as productive as it was enjoyable.

Building Connections Beyond the Fairway

What made Drive & Thrive stand out was its ability to combine leisure and leadership. By stepping away from formal agendas and into the open air, participants found common ground in new ways. From spontaneous discussions about emerging blockchain solutions to long-term visions for the Latvian tech ecosystem, the tournament underscored the value of creating space for authentic conversations.

As the day wrapped up, the scorecards mattered less than the relationships formed. For many, the greatest takeaway wasn’t a trophy or a perfect round—it was the chance to connect with peers and potential partners in an environment that encouraged trust, creativity, and collaboration.
