Our commitment to entrepreneurship
Today, we work with entrepreneurs to make a difference to both their company and their personal wealth. Acting as an experienced guide and sounding board across their financial affairs, we help business owners in making the right decisions at the right time in their journey.
A trusted partner for over 200 years
Entrepreneurship is rarely a straight line. It is demanding, often isolating, and the moments that shape outcomes tend to arrive before founders feel ready for them – having platforms where business owners can find the right advice, share challenges and connect with like-minded individuals is vital. As such, we are proud to partner with several organisations that support the entrepreneur community. Find out more about the work we do with our partners below.
Boardwave
Boardwave is Europe’s leading community for software founders, CEOs and technology leaders, created to address one of the continent’s biggest challenges: the fragmentation of expertise, networks and scale-up knowledge across markets. With more than 2,000 members spanning the UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain, Boardwave serves as a pan‑European platform that accelerates growth by connecting founders with best‑in‑class operators, investors and mentors across the software ecosystem.
Founders Forum
Founders Forum is a high-quality, peer-to-peer network of entrepreneurs established by Brent Hoberman of Lastminute.com, created to bring leading founders together through forums, content and curated opportunities for dialogue and collaboration. It attracts an international, innovation-led audience and has convened groups of over 450 tech entrepreneurs alongside senior investors and CEOs, making it a rare setting where founders can exchange perspective at the level their decisions are being made.
Buy Women Built
Buy Women Built is a consumer movement founded by Sahar Hashemi OBE that mobilises shoppers to buy from female-founded brands, using a kitemark to make them easier to identify and support. The movement is centred on the belief that every purchase creates a stronger, fairer economy and demonstrates to the next generation of female entrepreneurs of what’s possible. The community has grown to over 2,000 FMCG brands since its inception.
Fast Growth Icons
FGI is an exclusive, invitation‑only network of exceptional founders and CEOs of leading high‑growth businesses with the purpose of supporting founders as they navigate the complexities of scaling a business today. It brings together leaders of businesses in the $10m to $100m-plus revenue range, with meaningful headcount growth and momentum towards international expansion, M&A or capital structuring.
3-Space
3-Space convenes pioneering impact-driven entrepreneurs, business leaders and investors to share knowledge and accelerate investment in sustainability, alongside profitability and growth. Hosted by Rothschild & Co Wealth Management in partnership with ImpactVC, UpLink - World Economic Forum, and Better Society Capital, the event explores the opportunities for collaboration across all stages of capital investment and showcases how positive environmental and social impact go hand in hand with financial returns.
We know that every entrepreneur is different and that the journey to success can come in many different forms. You may be looking to build your company to achieve a sale, or to pass it on to the next generation. But, whatever your path, there are many lessons to be learnt from others.”
