The place for creative founders to come together, share cutting edge ideas and level up their skills. We run monthly events, meetups and festivals in the UK!

At Founders500, our name embodies the essence of community transformation and momentum. We recognise that the journey from a small gathering to a thriving, impactful community hinges on reaching key thresholds of engagement. Founders500 is a safe space where new and established founders, as well as future founders, come together to collaborate, support one another, and learn. Around 50–150 participants often marks the moment when a group begins to formalise its identity, shared purpose, and collective energy.

At 500 members, a critical mass is reached where diversity flourishes, sub-communities emerge, and real change becomes possible. Founders 500 represents this tipping point—a movement where connection, innovation, and growth thrive.
