I have been fortunate enough to hear stories from various founders and CEOs who have built big companies that have changed the world.

They all shared one thing in common: the art of story telling and seeing how stories can change lives. There is no better motivation than hearing how somebody was able to make something out of nothing and that is what goes on to help build the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Silicon Valley is always lauded as the Meccah of startups because of the stories that they tell,from Steve Jobs to Jack Dorsey and countless other stories have made thousands of entrepreneurs from all over the world believe that they can also achieve the same results by starting a company.

Over the past few years, London has also become a centre for innovation especially for Retail companies, creative companies and Fintech companies. I have seen the ecosystem grow from 2011 and it looks very different today.

It is still early days but we need to start telling our stories and letting the world know how innovative and creative we are; it is for this reason that i am very excited to announce our new convention called FoundersTale.

Every founder has a story to tell and this is the essence of FoundersTale.

Founderstale is an opportunity to hear what it takes to build a company from an idea all the way to profitability and beyond.

FoundersTale has been called the Tedconvention for entrepreneurs, no more and no less but simply focusing on their personal stories.

London has some of the most innovative companies in the world and we are delighted to bring you 15 awesome founders who will share with you the ups and downs of their journey so far.

The lineup is simply electrifying and we look forward to welcoming you to FoundersTale in London.

The format is simple, each founder will get 20 minutes on stage followed by 10 minutes of Q&A from the audience.
