The 19th Society is founded by Tobias Pascoe and Alexander Pain.
We met at Tournament Golf College, a place that brings together serious amateur golfers from around the world. We were two of them. Beyond the game, we shared an interest in business, in building things, and in the kind of people we wanted to spend our careers around.
The Society was born from a conversation neither of us can quite remember the start of. By the end of it, we knew what we wanted to build.
Tobias leads The 19th Society's European chapter. His network draws on family, university, and golf — across London's finance circles and the Nordic region, where the Society begins this August.
Alexander leads the Society's US chapter. He draws on relationships across the California business community and brings personal roots in Finland — the country where our first event takes place.
We are at the start of our careers. We do not yet have the CVs of the people we hope will join us. What we do have is the specific advantage of being young enough to notice what is missing in the existing networks, and stubborn enough to build the alternative.
The 19th Society is the network we wished existed when we started paying attention to how careers are actually built. We are building it slowly, with care, and with the people we know personally as the first chapter.
If this is interesting to you, please get in touch. The Society begins with a conversation.
