In short
Looking for an entrepreneurs club or a founders club in London? If you want a place to work, eat and stay, private members clubs do that well: Home House, Soho House, The Club at The Ned. If you want to meet other founders at a table built for you, that’s The Five Club.
What happens in London.
London is one of 8 cities where the club is open. Useful if you go back and forth to Paris: your circle is the same on both sides of the Channel.
A Founders Dinner is an entrepreneur dinner of five or six, at a different restaurant each time. You pick your date in the app, we build the table, and you see the profiles and the address shortly before. No pitches, no forced icebreakers, nobody to work the room.
Depending on the city, the club also hosts Banquets, private cocktails and brunches. After each one, you add the founders you want to see again to your circle. That’s how a real founders network gets built.
What members say about it.
“I didn’t know what to expect, and when I got there I said: wow, this is really, really cool. It’s completely relaxed.”
“When you talk to them, it’s: I did this and that’s how it worked; that didn’t work because I did this.”
“We’re all entrepreneurs, and at some point we’ve all felt that isolation. […] We talk business, but not only business.”

Building a company in London.
London ranks third in the world in Startup Genome’s 2026 ranking, behind Silicon Valley and New York. So there’s no shortage of events, business clubs or chances to meet entrepreneurs.
The difficulty lies elsewhere. In a city this size, most rooms are large and many evenings end with twenty contacts you’ll never call. With five or six people, you leave the table knowing who you want to see again.
The questions we get asked.
Is there an entrepreneurs club in London?
Yes, of several kinds. The Five Club hosts dinners for founders in London, by application. Private members clubs like Home House or Soho House mostly offer a place.
Which private members club should an entrepreneur join in London?
If you want a place, compare the houses and what they offer. If you want peers, look at who you’ll actually meet and how: a club that builds the table for you, like The Five, saves you doing that work yourself.
How do I meet entrepreneurs in London?
There’s no shortage of events. For connections that last, pick a format where you see people again: a founders’ table, a circle, a social club for entrepreneurs rather than a big party.
How do I join The Five Club in London?
You apply online: your company, your numbers and what you’re looking for. We read every application ourselves and answer within five days. We accept roughly one in four.
Where do the dinners take place in London?
Always at venues we choose ourselves, in easy-to-reach neighborhoods. You get the exact address shortly before.
Can I come alone?
Please do. Most people come alone. The whole experience is designed to make that feel natural.
How is this different from a business club?
A business club exists to generate contacts and referrals. The Five exists so you meet founders you’ll want to see again. Business is part of the conversation, but it isn’t the whole conversation.
