Founders Forum Global 2027

About the event

Founders Forum Global is the flagship gathering of Founders Forum Group, held in London each June around London Tech Week. The organizer's page lists three days and more than 500 attendees. The group describes its forums as invitation-only, and an independent London events guide says access is curated rather than sold, so founders must contact the team to be considered.

The format is built around conversation rather than a trade-show floor: panel discussions, small breakout brainstorms and fireside chats, plus a gala dinner in central London that opens the event and a Chair and CEO forum. The organizer says it tailors content to the people attending.

The audience is tech founders, CEOs, investors and government officials. Founders Forum Group also runs forums in other cities.

For app founders this is a small, selective networking event with investors and senior executives, not a marketplace. The sources do not mention app buyers or acquirers, and there is no open ticket sale, so it is realistic mainly for scaled companies that can be invited. It can be useful for building relationships with growth investors, but not for quick deal-making.

Who should attend

Aimed at founders and CEOs of scaled tech companies, including app businesses with traction, who want to meet investors and senior leaders in a curated setting. Attendance is by invitation or application, so it is not open to every team.

Tips: contact the organizer well before June with a clear one-paragraph summary of your company and its revenue and growth. If you are preparing to sell or raise, decide in advance which two or three investor types you want to meet and what you will ask them.
