An insightful blog post from our brilliant CoolBrand Home Grown, discussing all the benefits of being a Home Grown Club member. Home Grown is the private members’ club that provides entrepreneurial pioneers with unique resources to unlock the true value of their business potential…
Home Grown is not your usual exclusive members’ club in London. We recognise the importance of creating a community for business leaders to thrive.
Here’s five reasons, Home Grown is the place to be;
Unrivalled access to business leaders
We have a vault of the brightest minds in business, our community is made up of up and coming entrepreneurs to affluent investors. Here’s some of their personal reviews;
Anthony Tasgal, Author/Speaker, Strategist and Director.
“We are all crying out for opportunities to bump into other people, to spark ideas off them that make us happier, more fulfilled and more imaginative: Home Grown is a forum for just this creative serendipity
Bobby Lane, CEO of Factotum
“My newest business was born on these very premises. We had our first team meeting in the salon and pitched our first three clients onsite.”
Omer Shaikh, Principal Partner, RF Capital Partners
“Home Grown has proved invaluable as a private home from home when coming down to London for key business meetings with us. The results speak for themselves and we have successfully completed over £75m of new investment for our clients in 2020, plus are on track to top £100m in early 2021.”
Jamie Macdonald Murray, Lisarb Energy & Nalu Homes
“I closed a funding round with investors for Talo Homes (now known as Nalu Homes) whilst having lunch at the Home Grown restaurant.”
While helping successful businesses is our primary focus, we recognise the importance of supporting bright minds in the early stages of creation as well. In 2021, we held our Green Shoots Competition and one of our finalist, Fussy, received capital and resources to kick start their business. They subsequently went on Dragon’s Den this year and received a funding of £50,000 and their partnership of 2 dragons.
Carefully curated list of events
Our list of events are well curated to cover personal and professional development. We have events centred around wellness, finance, infrastructure/property, community, leadership, talent/skills and markets. Our events focus on the categories of high net worth individuals and provide insights and opportunities for our leading experts to share their knowledge.
Some of our key events include;
Rockstar series
Highly successful entrepreneurs/founders come down to share their business story, insights, challenges and answers questions from our guests.
Past Rockstars include:
- Peter Roberts, Founder of Pure Gym, the business’ current valuation stands over £600 million
- Richard Farleigh, Angel investor, and panellist on Dragon’s Den with a net worth of £160 million
- Tamara Lohan, Co-founder of Mr and Mrs Smith, the business has completed over a £230 million in Sales.
- Simon Woodroffe, Founder of Yo! Sushi, as of 2018 it was valued for £81 million.
- Nick Wheeler, Founder of Charles Tyrwhitt, has a net worth of over £427 million
- Kelly Hoppen, Founder of Kelly Hoppen Interiors, estimated net worth of over £50 million
Crocodile Lair in partnership with SFC Capital
SFC Capital is leading early-stage investment firm providing capital and support to British start-ups. We host the crocodile lair series, where handpicked rapidly growing innovations from SFC’s portfolio come to Home Grown to pitch their businesses for more funding.
Supper for Six
Supper for Six is one of the events synonymous with Home Grown. Members are allowed to invite an additional guest to a blind supper with other members/guests. This results in a table of business leaders from different fields put together to network and get to know more about each other. This ingenious and delicious idea allows potential professional relationships and partnerships to form.
According to the Ultra-High Net Worth individual (UHNWI) report, one of the top three focuses of high net worth individuals is property. At Home Grown, we recognise that, which is why we have a whole category focused on infrastructure. Often, we invite down researchers from top property estate companies i.e. Savills and property estate CEOs to share market projections and and trends for our members and guests to capitalise on.
