About Founders Forum Group:

Founders Forum Group is a global community and group of businesses supporting entrepreneurs at every stage of their journeys. 

Its forums unite the world’s most influential founders, investors, corporate and government leaders to tackle era-defining questions in iconic locations across the globe. 

Since 2019, Founders Forum has partnered with Informa Tech to celebrate the strength and diversity of UK tech through London Tech Week. 

Fuelled by the connections and ideas forged at the group’s flagship events, FF Group businesses support the needs of today’s founders via professional services (Founders Keepers,  Founders Law, Founders Makers, MFN, Founders HR, Founders Comms), education (01 Founders), investment (Founders Factory, firstminute capital), networking (Grip, Founders Assistants), philanthropy (Founders Pledge, The Centre for Entrepreneurs,) and content (Founders Insights). In 2021, the group sold its innovation strategy consulting firm, Founders Intelligence, to global consultancy, Accenture. 

Last year, FF Group acquired Tech Nation, the UK’s leading growth platform for tech scaleups. Founders Forum Group continues the previously government-funded Tech Nation programmes centred around early-stage and diverse founders, as well as data-driven research into the UK's tech ecosystem.
