Event Details

First Friday is a new informal, in-person GBx meet-up series hosted with our friends at Odgers, bringing the GBx community together at their fantastic offices.

You’re invited to gather for a breakfast to meet, mingle, and connect with fellow founders, operators, and investors – all while enjoying great conversation and unbeatable views of St Pauls.

Each quarter, the Odgers team will bring a topic to discuss, share insights and create inspiration for the next stages in your journey.

It’s an informal chance to hang out, build relationships, and spend time with other members of the community in a relaxed setting.

This quarter’s discussion will focus on Building a Board, covering everything founders need to feel confident about as they scale: when to build one, who to bring around the table, the role it should play, and the common pitfalls to avoid.

David Bell, Head of the Scale Up Collective, and Rachel Middleton, a consultant in the Chair & Board Practice, will kick off the morning with a short introduction before opening up the discussion to the room.
