What we do
Networking
The right introductions, at the right time.
We run networking events and make the introductions that connect entrepreneurs with mentors, investors, industry partners and each other. The relationships you build become some of the most valuable assets a growing business has.
Overview
How we help
We host networking events and make deliberate introductions that connect entrepreneurs with industry experts, potential investors and like-minded peers, so collaboration and shared knowledge become part of how you grow.
Who you know shapes how fast you grow. Our events, mixers and partner sessions put you in the same room as the mentors, funders and fellow founders who can open the next door for your business.

What it is
Planned events and deliberate introductions designed to build the professional relationships your business depends on.
Why it matters
To connect you with the mentors, investors, partners and peers who help your business grow.
We do not leave those connections to chance. We make the warm introductions that turn a room full of strangers into a network you can call on, long after the event is over.

Questions, answered
Networking: questions, answered
Who attends ANBI networking events?
Founders we work with, alumni, industry mentors, partner organisations and invited investors. The mix is what makes the room valuable: you leave with new contacts as well as new ideas.
How do I find out about upcoming events?
Get in touch through the Contact page and ask to be added to our list. We publish upcoming events in advance and reserve spaces for current and applying founders.
Do I have to be an ANBI founder to attend?
Many events are open to the wider community, while some are reserved for founders in our programmes. Ask to join our list and we will let you know what is coming up.
Can ANBI connect me with specific partners or investors?
Where there is a genuine fit, yes. Part of what we do is make deliberate, warm introductions rather than leaving the right connections to chance.
