Proximity is the whole point.
FFG Connect is a membership community for people who are building something serious, and it exists to put you within reach of people who have a genuine reason to know you, every week, in the app and in the room.
You are one or two relationships away.
Most people are one or two relationships away from the thing they are trying to do next, and the relationships are the problem rather than the ambition. You can be excellent at what you do and still be in the wrong rooms, and working harder does not fix that on its own. Connect exists to close that distance, and it does it every week rather than once a quarter at an event.
There is no right stage to join.
Connect includes entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, intrapreneurs, creatives and senior leaders. Some members are building their first venture. Others run teams, businesses or organisations. Some are changing direction entirely. What members share is not a job title. It is intent, and a willingness to be as useful to the room as they want the room to be to them.
Every week, in the app and in the room.
The App
Connect lives in the app, on your phone or on the web. Your Connect Week lands every Monday with the people, Rooms and opportunities worth your time that week. Ask the Room when you need an answer, a contact or a second opinion, and use Doors I Can Open to show the community where you can help. Explore profiles, message members, book events and tell the community what you are working towards.
The Introductions
Build relationships that go beyond exchanging contact details. Ask for an introduction, share your experience or open a door for another member through your own network. The Connect team can help you meet relevant founders, industry professionals, potential collaborators and, where appropriate, venture capitalists or investors. Introductions depend on relevance, availability and both people’s agreement. Share what you know as well as what you need, and help create a community where members support one another and build relationships that last.
The Opportunities
Get closer to people, rooms and experiences that can be difficult to access on your own, alongside practical support for what you are working towards. This may include pitch deck feedback, guidance from industry professionals, relevant connections, and opportunities to meet or shadow members of the FFG leadership team. Selected invitations and occasional tickets to partner or external events are also shared when available, with any eligibility requirements, limited places or additional costs clearly explained.
The Events
Meet fellow members through Let’s Connect and In Conversation, featuring founders, leaders, and cultural voices, alongside practical workshops, co-working sessions, and member gatherings. The wider programme includes mixers, dinners, curated tables, and priority access to major FFG events. Each listing states whether it is included with membership or has an additional member price. Booking and capacity limits apply.
Different experience. Shared intent.
Members come from different industries, backgrounds and stages of life. One person may have the experience you need; another may need exactly what you know. Connect works when members take part: showing up, making introductions, sharing experience and helping create the kind of community they want to belong to.
Emma Grede. Idris Elba. Krept. Paul Brunson. Posty. Kate and Rio Ferdinand.
These are some of the founders, leaders and cultural voices who have joined FFG conversations.
The value is not simply seeing a well-known name on stage. It is hearing how people made decisions, handled setbacks, built relationships and sustained ambition, and being able to ask what the polished version usually leaves out.

Decisions are not based on income, seniority or the size of your existing network. We look for ambition, character and a willingness to contribute.

No.
Connect is for entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, intrapreneurs and people working towards the next stage of their careers.
You do not need to own a business to belong here.
Do I need to be senior in my career?+
No.
There is no right career stage to join. What matters is your ambition, your mindset and your willingness to participate in the community.
Why is there an application?+
