Build your moat.

9 June 2026 | 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm BST
One Marylebone, London

Our Community VC Partners:

You’re raising in a tighter market. Hiring your first A-team. Getting your go-to-market right. Building AI-first when the ground keeps shifting. You don’t need another event – you need the right people around you.

Founders Club London is a closed community for London’s top startup founders, serial entrepreneurs, and leading investors. If you’ve raised from a Tier 1 VC, you’re deep in build mode, or you’ve done it before, this is for you.

Your unfair advantage
We built this community because we know what startup leaders like you need – and it’s not another keynote. It’s leverage.

Moat Mode.

We are not a conference.

The challenges founders face are complex. Our agenda is not. The first Founders Club London meeting will do two things:

1. Introduce the community.

2. Help founders make better decisions more quickly.

Build your moat.
