About Helm's Founders Network

20 years of supporting founders

Where it all began

I founded The Supper Club in 2003 as a members' club with a difference. I found there was no place for founders to have open, honest and practical conversations without being sold to.

We started by creating opportunities for founders to connect over dinner (hence the name) to share experience and practical advice to help each other achieve their goals. Much has changed since the early days, but the principles and ethos remain.

Now we have continued our own journey to become Helm. To reflect that your journey as a founder is unique to you, with your own individual destination you are navigating towards; your North star.

Our Story

The Give and Get Ethos

Crowdsource the answers

Our members support each other by openly sharing their experiences and learnings. They help each other to save time, grow and avoid often costly mistakes.

Discretion guaranteed

What’s discussed at Helm stays at Helm. We operate under the Chatham House Rule at events, with absolute confidentiality within your Forum.

A peer group that gets it

Growing a business can be tough and there is no handbook. Helm is a way to meet others who know what it feels like every day.

B Corp Certified

“I am delighted to see that Helm are actively supporting their scale-up founders in their quest to deliver both innovation AND impact in their markets. Becoming a B Corp requires businesses to meet the highest standards of social and environmental impact. If you are a founder of an established business, Helm are big advocates of the B Corp movement, and the power of business for delivering good. They already have a significant proportion of their members certified or going through the process”

James Perry, co-founder B Lab UK / board member, B Lab
