Join the Entrepreneurial Revolution: Community is Growing Fast!

Hey {{ first name | 👋 }}!

At the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, our community is at the heart of everything we do.

Over 75% of our community tell us that what they need most is support through networking and building their community. It’s something we take seriously because we know the journey of entrepreneurship can be isolating, and it’s those vital connections that often make all the difference.

That’s why we’re thrilled to share that over 1,500 founders have already signed up for our exclusive dinners next year, and Ideas Fest early bird tickets are flying off the shelves! It’s a clear sign that entrepreneurs are hungry for more than just events, they’re looking to belong to a community that truly understands their struggles, celebrates their successes, and supports their growth.

Just this week, we held a dinner with some incredible feedback that speaks to exactly what makes our networking events stand out:

"I always approach peer groups with some trepidation – I’d openly describe myself as an “anti-social, introvert”. Actually, this was very different. The chance to engage with founders across such a diverse spectrum of industries makes you realise the significant commonality of challenges and resilience we all face as founders! Discussing those challenges, opportunities and sharing wisdom was refreshing, with no hidden agendas, cracking food, and great company!"

This is the essence of the Great British Entrepreneurs community, real conversations, genuine connections, and a space where founders can freely share their experiences. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting out, the strength of our community lies in our shared challenges and resilience.

We’re excited to continue growing this community with you. If you haven’t already, be sure to join the waitlist for our dinners and grab your ticket for Ideas Fest. These are more than just events, they’re opportunities to build meaningful relationships that could shape your entrepreneurial journey.

If you secure your Ideas Fest pass in the next 7 days or before they run out, you'll get a free VIP invite to our March event, Ideas Fest Encore - on 25th March in London. Don't miss out on this chance to connect with some of the most dynamic entrepreneurs in the UK!

Here’s one of my favourite reflections from Oli Barrett, pictured enjoying Ideas Fest with Simon Woodroffe, the founder of Yo! Sushi:

"Ideas Fest is, quite literally, outstanding in its field. Unlike typical corporate events disguised as 'festivals,' this one truly delivers. You meet successful founders alongside those early in their journeys, with no green rooms separating them. In a doom-scrolling world, we should all spend more time together, out standing in our field."

Best regards,
