Striive at The Dutch Masters: an evening of top sport and networking

On 13 March 2025, the first edition of the HeadFirst Group - Best of Champions took place during The Dutch Masters in the Brabanthallen. Thanks to our parent organisation, HeadFirst Group, we as Striive were present at this special event. An evening where top sport, networking and entrepreneurship came together in a unique setting.

Horse swap format back on the road

After more than a decade of absence, the iconic horse change format was revived together with The Dutch Masters. Four top riders - Willem Greve, Henrik von Eckermann, Philipp Weishaupt and Maikel van der Vleuten - took up the challenge to perform not only on their own horses, but also on those of their competitors.

Willem Greve crowns ‘Best of Champions’

The battle for the title was exciting until the last moment, but in the end Willem Greve could call himself the big winner. With a combination of technique, speed and precision, he showed why he deserves this title. A special mention is also in order for Cupido, Philipp Weishaupt's horse, which stayed clear all evening under all four riders. An achievement of stature!

A valuable networking moment for Striive

Besides enjoying spectacular sport, the evening provided an excellent opportunity to make and strengthen valuable connections. Striive was well represented with independent professionals, suppliers and strategic partners.

Thanks to the sponsorship of HeadFirst Group, we as Striive were able to be part of this special event. An evening that was not only about sporting excellence, but also about cooperation, entrepreneurship and building strong relationships. We are already looking forward to the next edition!
