Not Your Average Founder Experience

Hey ,

I’m back from one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life, driving a rickshaw across India with a group of incredible entrepreneurs.

Cows in the road. Engine blow-ups. Wrong turns. And the kind of magic you can’t plan for.

But it wasn’t just about the adventure itself. It was about the time in between, the deep, unfiltered conversations, the war stories of business, the advice that landed just when it was needed, the moments of sheer grit and teamwork when things went wrong.

So many people on this trip have called it life-changing, and I get it. Because some of the best connections, the real ones, aren’t made in boardrooms or over polite networking drinks. They’re built in shared experiences, in the challenge of pushing beyond what’s comfortable, in moments where you have no choice but to trust yourself and those around you.

We’ve just opened a waitlist for future experiences designed for founders and business leaders who want more. More adventure, more depth, and more meaningful connections that go beyond polite networking and into something real.

If you want to support the challenge we’ve just undertaken, we’re raising money for incredible causes and you can do so here!

Now It’s Your Turn.

We’re building Ideas Extreme, a series of founder and business leader adventures that go beyond business as usual. Some will be high-energy and daring. Some more reflective. Some in the UK. Some further afield.

💥 Want in? Sign up now and be part of something unforgettable.

The entrepreneurs and business leaders from our Ideas community, those who’ve been part of The Great British Entrepreneur Awards, UK Fast Growth Index, The UK StartUp Awards, The Great British Industry Awards, and Ideas Fest will be among those taking part. While these experiences are open to all founders and business leaders, they illustrate the calibre of participants, ambitious entrepreneurs and decision-makers building the next wave of household names, stepping outside their day-to-day and into something extraordinary.
