What started as one athlete's frustration with chaotic group chats and scheduling nightmares became a mission to transform how clubs connect and organize - because your passion for sport shouldn't be derailed by organizational chaos.
From idea to impact - see how we've grown
The idea was born during a particularly chaotic training season. Steffen Haak, juggling his triathlon training with club responsibilities, watched as important information got lost in endless WhatsApp threads and teammates missed crucial training sessions due to poor communication. Something had to change.
Unfortunately, no available app seemed to be the solution for the issues that Steffen's club faced. But Steffen had a dream: to create a club app that would do everything his club needed it to do. As a software engineer and entrepreneur, Steffen knew the power of technology to better people's lives—he'd seen it in his own projects, and he knew he could bring that same power to his club.
The hard work paid off. Klubraum was awarded the prestigious 'Zukunftspreis des Badischen Sportbundes' (BSB Future Prize) for innovation in sports technology. More importantly, our first real-world test at the SOLA relay race proved that clubs actually wanted this solution - organization finally made simple.
The pandemic tested everyone's resilience, but it also proved how essential digital connection really is. While sports stopped, community didn't. Clubs used Klubraum to stay connected, plan virtual events, and prepare for the return to in-person activities. We learned that our platform wasn't just about scheduling - it was about keeping communities alive.
As sports returned, so did the organizational challenges - but now clubs had a solution. Word spread from club to club, coach to coach. Every new feature we added was driven by real feedback from real people facing real problems. We weren't just building software; we were building a movement toward better club organization.
Success brings its own challenges. As thousands more clubs joined Klubraum, we completely reimplemented our backend architecture for robustness and scale. Calendar synchronization improved event oversight massively. Child and guest support opened doors to entire families. Enhanced import/export tools and multiple language support meant clubs worldwide could organize their way.
With solid foundations, we focused on exceptional user experience. Multi-account support let parents manage their children's accounts seamlessly. Digital membership cards replaced plastic forever. Revamped authentication, intuitive content linking, and new surveys and polls transformed Klubraum into a complete community engagement platform.
Over 200,000 people across 10,000+ clubs use Klubraum to stay organized and connected.

Picture this: 5 AM training sessions, weekend competitions, and the constant juggling of work, sport, and social life. As a dedicated triathlete and cross-country skiing competitor, Steffen lived and breathed club culture. But he also lived the frustration - the missed messages buried in 200+ WhatsApp notifications, the training partners who didn't show up because they never got the schedule change, the constant back-and-forth about who was driving to away competitions. As a software developer, he knew there had to be a better way. Klubraum became his answer to a problem every club member knows too well: when passion meets chaos, chaos usually wins. His mission became clear - give clubs the tools to stay organized so they can focus on what brought them together in the first place.
