How it worksInvestment thesisMembershipFor FoundersAboutLog inBecome a member

One membership. Every decision stays yours.

Membership buys founder story sessions, the XX Invest Guide and a room of peers, not a stake in anything. You invest separately, only when you choose to, and only in the companies you pick.

Annual

£2,000

per year, paid up front

One payment, works out at less than £167 a month, that's £400 less over the year than paying monthly.

Monthly

£200

per month, over a 12-month membership

The same access and the same commitment as annual, just spread across smaller payments if that works better for your cash flow.

Prices shown include VAT. Membership fees are never invested in a company.

Everything, at either price.

  • Access to the founders we choose to host, and the reasoning behind why
  • Founder story sessions, with open Q&A before any decision
  • Founder stories online, always, so you're never dependent on being in the room to follow along
  • Plain-English guides to how early-stage investing actually works, members only
  • Written briefs with terms, commercial case and stated risks
  • Quarterly dinners and regular drinks meetups with other members
  • Clarity on how every deal works, and what it costs, before you decide

You'll get a lot out of this if…

  • You've got capital you could commit to illiquid, high-risk investments.
  • You want to understand what you're buying rather than delegate the decision.
  • You've got limited time and want the groundwork done properly.
  • You're building a portfolio over years, not looking for one big idea.

This is the wrong product if…

  • You need the money back within a few years, or at a predictable time.
  • You want someone to manage a portfolio on your behalf.
  • You're looking for advice on what's suitable for you personally.
  • You can't comfortably afford to lose everything you invest.

A short check before you see anything.

UK investors need to confirm their investor status before we show them early-stage opportunities. You do this when you sign up, and again every year. It takes a couple of minutes, and it's not a credit check.

If you do invest in someone you meet through us

Let us know, in confidence, within 30 days, just that an investment happened, roughly how much, and the sector. That's so we can track our own impact over time, not to monitor or assess your investment, and we only ever report on it in aggregate, never with your name attached.

The first 50 members set the tone.

Price held

Your membership rate is fixed for as long as you stay a member, whatever we charge later.

A say in how this is built

An annual advisory session with Julia and Sam, shaping the programme, the sectors we prioritise and how opportunities are presented.

Leaving is straightforward, it just isn't instant.

Membership runs for 12 months, whether you pay annually or monthly, and renews automatically for another 12 months unless you cancel. To stop it renewing, give us at least 30 days' notice before your renewal date, and you'll keep access until the end of your 12 months. If you pay monthly, your payments continue until then.

With less than 30 days' notice, it renews for one more year before you can cancel the same way. We don't refund any part of a membership year once it's started, other than in your first 14 days (below).

Cancelling ends your access to founders, events and content. It has no effect on any investment you've already made, which is held separately from your membership.

You have 14 days from joining to cancel without giving a reason, and we'll give you a full refund. Full details are in our Membership Terms.
