About

Captain’s Knock is a business networking organization with a charitable focus.

We host and promote high-quality events that bring leaders from business and legends from sports together, to network, celebrate and raise money for worthwhile causes.

Our events are known for being fun, interactive and attracting an international crowd of like-minded and success-driven ‘captains of industry’. Currently our events are in New York and Boston, with plans to expand throughout the United States.

Captain’s Knock?

The term originates from cricket when a captain from the batting side has an innings which wins the game. The “knock” being the sound of the ball on bat. The term is often used across sports to describe any captain’s performance that helps win a game.

In a similar way, high-performing business leaders are able to direct organizations to successful results.

For those in business seeking to perform at a captain’s knock level, we are the place to exchange experiences with and learn from those who have achieved.In bringing together individuals and audiences of this caliber, we raise substantial sums for good causes.
Richard Sexton, Founder & CEO
BioLinked In “Having lived in New York a few years we wanted to embrace the philanthropic culture that exists here but with events that I and my fellow ‘Commonwealth’ expats could relate to.Client entertainment and sport have always gone hand-in-hand. We chose to replicate the types of sport themed business events we were familiar with from London and bring them to the large and vibrant business expat communities in New York and Boston.We also wanted to create something a bit different. Our events have a British personality to them, with a lot of fun banter between the host, attendees and the legends themselves.

People are passionate about the sports and the stars they grew up watching, so there is always an electric atmosphere. We always have a Q&A with the legends which provides not only humorous anecdotes but also compelling stories from their careers, often about working hard, studying their competition and focusing on improving their weaknesses to become champions. Lessons that cross-over into business.

Our events are for legends of sport and leaders of business.”
