Great leaders don’t just communicate ideas. They create connection. On Monday, Terry Szuplat, Barack Obama’s speechwriter and bestselling author of Say It Well, joins Helm members to share how words shape trust, action, and leadership. A private room. 60 founders. Members only. → helmclub.co

5/ Thank you to @TiceRichard of @reformparty_uk for joining us and engaging so openly with the @helm_club community.

4/ Helm is a non-political organisation. We do not endorse parties or candidates, but we believe founders benefit from exposure to diverse viewpoints shaping the national conversation.

1/ As part of our Political Speakers Series at Helm, we hosted Richard Tice, Deputy Leader of Reform and Shadow Secretary for Business, Trade and Energy, for a private dinner with founders and investors.

@naval 💯 that’s what @helm_club members do and scale up way faster than solo

People who don’t organize into tribes get wiped out by people who do.

UK scale-up founders (£5–50m) are converging on the same strategic priorities for 2026. After dozens of closed-room conversations with @helm_club CEOs, I’ve distilled 6 strategies that will define who scales, and who stalls. Published in @StartupsMag 👇 startupsmagazine.co.uk/6-strategies-d…

Helm members didn’t read a case study. They heard it first-hand from Justas Janauskas, co-founder of Vinted. A closed-door dinner, chaired by Andreas Adamides. No PR polish. Just raw lessons on scaling, survival, and global dominance. This is the level of access Helm offers.

You don’t watch minds like Rory Sutherland on a podcast. You join them for dinner. Last month, Helm members joined Rory Sutherland for a private, off-the-record evening. No slides, just rare thinking on human behaviour and brands. This is what Helm membership looks like.

Helm Forum, refined over 22 years. 8 founders. 1 chair. Absolute confidentiality. A space where scale-up founders can speak freely, think clearly, and make better decisions, without performance or posturing. If you’re building something serious, don’t settle for imitations.

Grateful to @JJhamilton at @thetimes for featuring my 6 tips for founders in today's edition of The Times.

Another Labour U-turn and a step in the right direction on day-one protection from unfair dismissal. This is something that’s definitely hindered the ability to hire bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The numbers don't lie: +£1,500 per worker +6.7% last year <5% margins in hospitality & retail I spoke to @StandardNews: founders aren’t against fair pay. These compounded hits are crushing businesses, and policymakers look the other way. standard.co.uk/business/hospi…

The numbers don’t lie. Another £1,500 per worker. After last year’s 6.7% rise. On sectors with margins often under 5%. Our CEO @AndreasAdamides told @StandardNews exactly what this means for hospitality and retail founders: Compounded hits, real-world consequences, and policymakers who aren’t listening. standard.co.uk/business/hospi…

Incredible evening hosting Rory Sutherland at this Helm exclusive dinner!

No amount of spin can alter the fact that lowering income tax thresholds is still a tax rise.
