The Challenge

Move beyond symbolic gatherings to create moments of genuine influence — ensuring entrepreneurs felt seen and heard at the highest levels of power.

The Solution

Curated guestlists that were as intentional as the conversations they enabled. Each event created space for candid dialogue between founders and senior ministers, fostering insight-driven conversations on growth, innovation, and investment. The tone was deliberately informal, prioritising substance over ceremony.

The Outcome

The receptions became critical touchpoints for soft influence, shaping subsequent policy discussions and broadening the voices consulted on UK economic strategy. Beyond immediate outcomes, the events helped reframe who holds legitimacy in shaping the future of the UK economy.
