We started this in October 2024 because we are convinced that friendship unlocks 99% of what an entrepreneur needs. There are plenty of organisations that do things for entrepreneurs. Friends are different. Friends are there all the time. They have your back. They share their networks, they collaborate, they care more about how you're doing than how the business is doing. They've lived in the arena, learned the hard way, and want to pass it on — at no cost, just to see amazing things built in this city.
