Live Better. A private network for founders in Europe who value building successful companies just like staying fit and being present at home.

You give but gain nothing back. The more established communities lack depth and authenticity. #### YOUR TIME IS PRECIOUS You've built enough to understand that having access to the right rooms is more valuable than hundreds of random connections and noise.  ![1779960290153](https://the1percentclub.eu/hubfs/1779960290153.png) "***The connections, conversations, collaborations, challenges and experiences have all brought real value - both personally and professionally.* "** Ian Tonge, Founder IRT Media Group ![WhatsApp Image 2026-03-20 at 19.17.24](https://145018278.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/145018278/hubfs/WhatsApp%20Image%202026-03-20%20at%2019.17.24.jpeg?width=1200&length=1200&name=WhatsApp%20Image%202026-03-20%20at%2019.17.24.jpeg) ![450591123](https://145018278.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/145018278/hubfs/450591123.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=450591123.jpg) ![image 3](https://145018278.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/145018278/hubfs/kongres%202024%20resized-269-1.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=kongres%202024%20resized-269-1.jpg) ![Screenshot 2026-09-15 1556044](https://145018278.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/145018278/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-09-15%201556044.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=Screenshot%202026-09-15%201556044.png) ![Tough Mudder Manchester 2026](https://145018278.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/145018278/hubfs/WhatsApp%20Image%202026-10-13%20at%2013.28.19.jpeg?width=1200&length=1200&name=WhatsApp%20Image%202026-10-13%20at%2013.28.19.jpeg) #### **CURATED NETWORK** The core of our network is made of founders running 7-8 figure companies, serial entrepreneurs, investors, and specialists across a range of industries. Access a curated international business ecosystem. Whether you’re scaling, hiring or exploring new markets, chances are someone’s been through it or can open doors. Be part of a smaller, trusted circle of selected founders, built to foster genuine relationships, trust and meaningful conversations. #### LOW NOISE, MAXIMUM LEVERAGE This shouldn't feel like just another thing on your to-do list. The aim is to bring what you're already working towards into a room of like-minded founders. We meet online once a month. Every meeting is designed to help you or your business move forward through practical interaction with founders operating at a similar level, which often develops into friendships and partnerships over time.  #### BELONGING, PERSONAL GROWTH, ROI Our goal is for every member to create at least 10x the value of the membership fees and the time they commit in the first three years. We want every member to take on things they might’ve put off if they were on their own, and make a genuine difference in each other’s lives.  Most importantly, we want our members to feel they belong here and be proud to be part of their tribe.  [Apply](https://calendly.com/adrian_1_percent/1-application-call) ![Narinder](https://the1percentclub.eu/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-12-02%20072053.png) "***What I have from The 1% Club is already 100x more than what I invested***" Narinder Khattoare, Founder Credco, CEO ## In-Person Events  We organise two international in-person events per year. These are normally built around hiking, nature, good food, and great conversations. The relationships built here strengthen everything else. Apart from our main events, members in our biggest hubs also meet up informally. As The 1% Club expands, we’re planning to organise more regular local meetups. Around half of our members commit to a race or physical challenge as part of their personal goals - **[half-marathons, Tough Mudder or HYROX](https://youtube.com/shorts/14uQUQSgPxM)**. Doing hard things together builds a bond you can’t get on Zoom or in a boardroom.  ![Jake](https://the1percentclub.eu/hubfs/1752828544325.jpeg) ***"I don't have any other place where I could have these types of conversations with founders"*** Jake Barber, SJB Global ## THE REQUIREMENTS: - You’re running a company with at least €1M in annual turnover, you’ve previously founded a company that reached at least €1M in annual turnover, or you have at least five years of business experience. - Building ambitious companies matters as much to you as staying fit and being present at home. - You’re goal-driven and committed to investing in your growth and the growth of your business. - You’ve built enough to understand that a handful of people you can be honest with brings more value than a hundred random connections. - You’re willing to commit two hours a month to contribute to and benefit from the network. - You give more than you take. You don’t pitch. ![Jeremy](https://the1percentclub.eu/hubfs/ub19z8te4l3odj6s9jg65vjeb5lz.jpeg) "***I've been to many networks and events, but I've never experienced anything like this in my life.***" Jeremy Shinazi, Hola Venture Partners What’s the calibre of your members? At the core of the Club are founders of seven- and eight-figure businesses. We also have founders below that threshold who are committed to growing within the network. Do you have an app? Yes. We use a mobile app where members can find the event calendar, content, discussions and the member directory. How much time do I need to commit? Two hours a month on average. We also recommend coming to our in-person events. Is there a money-back guarantee? If either you or The 1% Club decides it isn’t the right fit within the first three months, we’ll cancel your membership and refund the rest of your membership fee. It looks good, but what if I’m too busy? This is when you need it most. Once a month, you sit down with founders who’ve made the mistakes you’re about to make. One conversation can save you months or open a door you didn’t know existed. Do you race together? Yes. Around half of our members commit to a race or physical challenge as part of their personal goals. Some end up doing the same races. Doing hard things together builds a bond you can’t get on Zoom or in a boardroom. I travel a lot. Will this work for me? Yes. Most of your time with the Club is spent online. Our Monthly Momentum session takes place on the second Wednesday of the month, so you can join from wherever you are. Where are you based? Our biggest hubs are in Spain and the UK, followed by Benelux. We have members in 10 European countries. What industries are your members in? Our members run companies across food and beverage, marketing, real estate, manufacturing, finance, health and longevity, tech, AI, insurance, travel, hospitality, sustainability and luxury goods and services.
