Founder Roundtable: Building Outside the Capital

A moderated, off-the-record roundtable for founders building ambitious businesses outside London, with a particular focus on the realities and opportunities of operating from the North.

The discussion explores how geography shapes and sometimes distorts access to capital, networks and perception, and how founders can build credible, scalable businesses without relocating or over-compensating.

Topics include:

• Access to capital outside the capital ,what’s changing, and what isn’t

• Regional advantages that are often overlooked or misunderstood

• Common misconceptions founders face when building beyond London
