our Values
Everyone belongs. Everyone gets in.
At for the FOUNDERS, we believe access and inclusion can’t be separated.
That’s why we’re intentional about creating a space that is welcoming, representative and financially accessible — not just in theory, but in practice.
We champion diversity across race, gender, sexuality, religion, ability, class, and lived experience — and we back that by ensuring our events are affordable and approachable for anyone who wants to grow.
We don’t just invite people in. We make sure they can stay.
Accessibility & Inclusivity
Empowerment & Independence
Back yourself and others, too.
We exist to equip and energise founders, freelancers, creatives and community builders through shared learning, honest conversation and founder-led knowledge.
From our choice of venues (always founder-led and independent) to the stories we share and the tools we offer, we’re building a culture that supports freedom, not hierarchy.
Because being independent doesn’t mean doing it alone.
And empowerment isn’t a buzzword, it’s something you pass on.
Collaboration & Connection
Built on presence, not platforms.
We don’t do cold networking or empty promises.
We create space for real connection — the kind that sparks something and lasts beyond the room.
Our events are designed to bridge gaps, build relationships and foster a culture of collaboration over competition.
Because we know that when one of us grows, we all grow.
This is about shared energy, not silent rivalry.
We show up, and we back each other.
