A Private Community for Founders, Intrapreneurs and Ambitious Professionals.

Journey Img

At Forbes Family Group, we believe a single introduction can change everything.

Connection is the third pillar of everything we do, and it is the one that makes the other two possible.

When the right people are in the right room, ideas become partnerships, conversations become opportunities, and ambition finds the fuel it needs to move.

Connect is where we make that happen by design.

Journey Img

Where Ambitious People Meet.

There are rooms most people never find themselves in.

Rooms where the right introduction changes the direction of a business. Where a conversation with someone who has already built it saves you two years. Where being in the right place, with the right people, at the right time stops being luck and starts being by design.

Connect is how Forbes Family Group creates those rooms.

It is an exclusive private membership platform built for founders, intrapreneurs and ambitious professionals who understand that proximity matters. Not proximity to noise. Proximity to the people, insights and opportunities that actually move things forward.

Some conversations become partnerships. Some introductions become companies. Some ideas, finally in the right room, become something real.


What You Get Access To

Membership is not a subscription. It is an entry point into an ecosystem.

Connect Conversations

An opportunity to be in a room that does not come around every day. Connect Conversations brings together remarkable people from business, entertainment and sport to share the real experiences, journeys and moments that shaped them. A genuine conversation with people doing extraordinary things.

In-Person Events

Private mixers, dinners, gatherings, workshops and our In Conversations series, designed for real connection. Not surface-level networking. The kind of conversations that continue long after the room empties.

Founder Sessions

Small-group sessions with experienced founders sharing practical insight on building and scaling. The things you only learn by doing, shared directly with you.

Online Workshops

Interactive sessions covering fundraising, leadership, brand building and growth, led by people actively working at that level.

Purpose built FFG Connect App

The Connect app keeps you connected to conversations, events and opportunities in one place. Not scattered across inboxes and group chats. Here, where it belongs.

The Community

A curated network of founders, intrapreneurs and ambitious professionals inside the Connect app. Application-only membership means everyone in the room is meant to be there.

WHO IS CONNECT FOR.

Service Img

Connect is built for people who are intentional about who they spend their time with.

If you are a founder, you will find people who understand what you are building and some who have already built it.

Conversations that cut straight to what matters. Introductions that open real doors.

If you are an intrapreneur, ambitious inside your organisation and building something beyond your job title, you will find the perspective, the network and the thinking that accelerates where you are already heading.

And if you are someone who simply knows that the right relationships change everything, you will find a community that takes that seriously.

No small talk for the sake of it. People who show up, contribute and genuinely want to see others move forward.

The common thread is not what you do. It is how you think. Members are ambitious, curious and generous with their knowledge.

That combination is rare. We protect it.

What's Included

Go beyond the headlines with candid, in-depth conversations from industry leaders, investors, and founders shaping tomorrow’s markets. Expect real insights, open discussion, and access that inspires growth.

Curated, high-value gatherings that bring together founders, backers, and innovators in relaxed spaces where real connections spark new opportunities. Because when the right people meet, things move forward.

Small-group sessions where experienced founders share what it really takes to build, scale, and lead. Real stories, real strategies, and honest conversations that help you grow faster.

Live, interactive sessions led by operators at the top of their game. From leadership and fundraising to brand and influence, you’ll gain practical skills and insider knowledge you can apply right away.

Stay connected to the people, events, and opportunities that drive your growth. The FFG Connect app makes it easy to engage, collaborate, and keep your momentum wherever you are.

Every conversation, every connection, every event is designed with purpose. At FFG Connect, you grow your knowledge and your network simultaneously — leaving each experience sharper, smarter, and more connected than before.

More than a network — it’s a platform built for people who move with intent. FFG Connect brings together innovators and intrapreneurs who believe growth happens faster when we learn and build together.
