Networking groups near Sevenoaks, G5

Founders network, part of the Founders Incubator was started by Steven Haggerty - a Founder himself. This network is different, its not about who has the best business card but who has the best relationships new and old. It is about building those relationships and helping fellow founders build and grow their business. 

We have Founders who have just started out, to founders who have ran and sold multiple companies. 

Our concept is simple, keep networking simple. 

Our events are ran with the founder in mind. 

We run three monthly events; 

- Monthly Socials, a relaxed networking event where you can meet fellow founders and share a drink or some great food. 

- Speaker Style Event - This is where we bring in an expert to discuss their core subject, it could be a famous founder or a marketing genius whoever it is... you leave with some powerful learnings! 

- Monthly Breakfast - Limited to 10 Founders, we run a monthly breakfast meeting in central London.

We think Founders are innovators, here are 10 traits of innovators according to Forbes; 

1. Being innovative means doing things differently or doing things that have never been done before. An innovator is someone who has embraced this idea and creates environments in which employees are given the tools and resources to challenge the status quo, push boundaries and achieve growth.

2. Innovators are authentic leaders committed to creating dynamic, highly productive and values-based organizations that hire people who are passionate about their work; give them opportunities to grow; make them feel valued and respected; and give them clarity about their roles and responsibilities.

3. Innovators understand innovation never happens in a vacuum. They value, build and sustain active, vibrant networks of people, assets and organizations. Instead of viewing collaboration as a challenge, they see it as an opportunity to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

4. Innovators are committed to diversity and understand it takes many different points of view to fully grasp the complexity of economic, technological and other challenges.

5. Innovators have let go of the high-control, low-trust model of leadership and lead by directing from the center of their organizations. They empower employees to be creative and develop the skills they need to move to the next level in their careers.

6. Innovators are not taking shortcuts and are not afraid of going after more complex solutions, even if it means taking higher risks.

7. Innovators understand innovation is not a one-time thing and that start-up companies as well as those that are several generations old have to continuously reach above and beyond what they have done before to stay competitive. This requires innovators to be effective change managers who know how to navigate through resistance to their ideas.

8. Innovators are not afraid to break with the norm and push past conventional wisdom that causes people to think in a box. They are aware customers don’t always know what they want.

9. Innovators understand paying too much attention to traditional business metrics can inhibit companies from making breakthroughs. At the same time, however, their business success speaks for itself.

10. Innovators contribute new, unconventional ideas of their own.
