A short field
Every request read by hand, pairings built on purpose.
The people doing the work
Our engineers and the partnerships lead are in the groups, not working a booth.
Everything covered
Breakfast, caddie, cart, clubs, food and drink.
The day
No booth. No deck.
No booth. No deck.
Eighteen holes.
Everything happens on the property. Bali Hai sits on Las Vegas Boulevard itself, so the drive from the south Strip is a few minutes and the airport is closer than that. Carts the whole way, caddies if you want one.

Range and putting green
Warm up, meet your caddie, pick up Callaway rentals if you did not fly with clubs.
10:00
Tee-off
Two-player teams inside each foursome, best ball carrying each hole. A first-timer holds nobody up.

Drinks at the Tiki Bar
Scorecards settled, winners named, and the rest of the evening is yours.

on the Boulevard
Schmidt-Curley dropped a South Seas course into the desert in 2000: seven acres of water, transplanted palms, white sand, and the Strip standing over the closing holes.

What happens next
This is an invite, not a tee sheet. We read every request by hand and we talk to people before the round, so the groups are built out of real conversations rather than a signup list.

By hand, as they arrive. Earlier is better while the field is open.

A short conversation first. You learn who you would spend the day with, we learn what you are working on.

Meet the Basis team
The people behind it
Not everyone here tees off, but these are the people behind the round and behind the work. Engineering first, then the partnership side. If you come, you spend the day with some of them.
Swipe the team
Shawn Franklin
VP of Engineering
10 years at Basis, long enough to have heard "it should be simple" roughly 1,000 times. Owns engineering delivery across every account, from scoping through production, and will call 6 weeks or 6 months before you finish the sentence. Competitive bodybuilder on the side, which explains the drive distance and why nobody argues with his estimates.
Justin Towers
Director of Engineering
Runs the teams on cloud migration, DevOps and modernization, and turns a signed scope into something that actually ships. Has opinions about your deployment pipeline. You will hear them around the 7th.
Jay Esguerra
Director of Engineering
Director of Engineering alongside Justin, running delivery teams on platform and data work. Calm when a release is not, which is most of the reason he has the job. Happy to talk through whatever you are wrestling with.
Josh Corb
Founder & CEO
Started Basis in Los Angeles in 2013 and has run it every day since, which in this industry is about 3 lifetimes. Sets the direction, picks the bets, and has said no to more work than most firms say yes to. Ask him about golf and he will somehow be describing his tennis backhand by the 3rd hole.
Landon Meserve
VP of BD & Partnerships, AWS Alliance Lead
Built the AWS partnership from nothing to Advanced Tier in 9 months, a fact he works into most conversations. Runs co-sell and funding, and put this whole round together. If 10:00 AM feels early, he is the one to take it up with.
Emir Eskicioglu
BD & Partnerships Associate
Works the partnership side with Landon and runs the event programme, this round included. First person you will hear from and the reason the day starts on time. Has never lost a ball on a course, which the rest of us find suspicious.
Questions
Before you ask
Basis
True partnership,results in success.
That is the line on our wall and it is the reason this round exists. We would rather spend a day with someone and find out whether there is a fit than send another cold email.
Building and running production systems since 2013
