No ball, no game.
Concept v0.1 · October 2026 · seeking location partners
The Netherlands has thousands of public pitches that are free to use and mostly empty. The only thing stopping a spontaneous game is the ball nobody brought.
Ball Out is a dispenser next to the pitch. You walk past, you scan, the ball rolls out, you play, you put it back. No account, no app, no planning — the last excuse not to play is gone.
Inside: an intake that checks every ball before it goes back into stock, a display that says what is in, and a lock that opens without an app. All of it in a cabinet that stands up to weather, boredom and football boots.
We build the cabinet, the dispensing and intake mechanism, the control and the software; payment and lock are bought in. The first units we make ourselves, larger numbers go to a producer.
More play on what is already there
No new pitch needed: the existing ones simply get used more.
Zero staff
The machine reports for itself when it needs service or balls.
A measurable effect
Every loan is counted, so a municipality sees per pitch what it returns.
This is why this page exists. If you fit one of these rows, we want to talk to you.
How we work
Feasibility first
Every stage starts with whether it works and what it costs — an honest go/no-go before money goes into building.
Proven parts, our own core
What already exists we buy off the shelf. We only build what is not there yet: the software, the integration and the design around them.
Developed in the open
The status is on this page, estimates are called estimates, and partners get a quarterly update — also when things go badly.
Can you supply, pilot, advise or fund?
Send two sentences. You'll get the full proposal under NDA, and a call within a week with the engineer working on it.
