Partner with Rare Founders
We believe there are RARE founders out there with groundbreaking ideas who simply aren’t being heard. Our mission is to change that by giving these visionaries the platform and visibility they deserve — through events, connections, and a thriving community.
Our events are unlike anything else in the startup world. We push boundaries, add a provocative edge, and create an environment where people feel relaxed, welcome, and ready to connect. That’s why 30–40% of our attendees are regulars who have been supporting us since day one.
Why We’re Different
We’re one of the largest startup communities in the UK with 20,000+ members, a strong brand, and a reputation founders trust. That trust is our most valuable asset — we take seriously who we bring on as partners.
Inclusivity is in our DNA. We don’t tick boxes — we create real access:
Childcare at events so founders with kids can fully participate.
Quiet & sensory rooms for attendees with ADHD or neurodivergent needs.
Safe space policy with anonymous reporting for any concerns.
Curated audience — we vet attendees where possible and keep out bad actors.
Our approach means founders and investors alike feel comfortable, respected, and focused on making meaningful connections.
Sponsorship Opportunities
We offer sponsorship options to suit different goals and budgets, including:
Large conferences (up to 2,000 attendees)
Medium-sized networking events (150–250 people)
Intimate masterclasses (20–100 people)
Our high-engagement weekly newsletter (10,000+ subscribers)
We only work with a limited number of sponsors per event to ensure your brand stands out and your time is well spent.
