Orange Business Club

Where Enterprise Meets Society

An invite-only circle of entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders.

By Invitation Only

What is the Orange Business Club?

The Orange Business Club brings together a carefully selected community of entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders. It is a place for meaningful connection, shared opportunity, and the kind of trust that only a private circle can offer — where members meet, exchange ideas, and open doors for one another.

Our Founders

The People Behind the Club

Clemens van Steijn

Co-Founder

Clemens van Steijn is a Dutch entrepreneur and the founder of the Tulips Ball, established in 2015 and today recognised as one of Europe's leading society events. Through the Black and Orange Tulip Societies he has built an international network spanning fourteen countries and states, from New York to Los Angeles.

What began as an intimate gathering has grown into a refined three-day international experience, bringing together leaders from business, diplomacy, defence, and high society — with the Tulips Ball at its centre, followed by the Tulips Polo Trophy. The events have welcomed distinguished guests including members of several European royal houses, with Clemens often acting as auctioneer in support of charitable causes.

He gained national recognition in the Netherlands as co-creator and lead figure of the reality series “Bij de Jonge Adel, van de Jacht tot het Bal,” and through his “Ball Etiquette” masterclass he offers a gateway into a refined international social culture. With the Orange Business Club, Clemens extends that world into enterprise — connecting entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders.

Edmond Fokker van Crayestein

Co-Founder

Edmond Fokker van Crayestein is a cosmopolitan entrepreneur from the renowned Dutch Fokker family, and a co-founder of the Orange Business Club. A graduate of Leiden University and Harvard Business School, he moves easily between the worlds of business, culture, and society.

Widely travelled and known for an extensive international network, Edmond is also an accomplished autodidact violinist who has performed in settings ranging from the courts of royal families to concerts for international troops abroad.

He brings this breadth of connection and experience to the Orange Business Club, helping shape a private community built on trust, discretion, and opportunity.
