The invitation-only network for founders & CEOs
of the most successful fast growth scaleups

What makes the ‘Icons experience’ unique?

It’s exclusively for founders and CEOs–  means you’ll be surrounded by people performing the same role at a similar sized company, so discussion is at the right level.

All the speakers are founders or CEOs of accomplished scaleups themselves, the majority have valuations > $1b, and share their experiences openly and honestly.

There is no catch – with a  strict ‘zero sales’ policy, you will only get practical insights about what worked, what didn’t and how they successfully scaled.

“I rarely, if ever, get to connect with founders who are also CEOs who are also at a similar inflection point or moment of scale in their business. Invaluable networking, personal development and learning.”

Kathryn Parsons
CEO – Co-Founder, Decoded

Creating the 100m+ revenue stars of the future

Fast Growth Icons provides the three pivotal things you need to deliver a breakout success

Motivation – Inspirational founders share their success and failure stories and prepare you for the realities of being a founder of a business valued over $1b

Knowledge – Open dialogue amongst peers about the issues that matter, our guests consistently feedback being blown away by the quality of discussion and energy in the room

Connections – everyone is the founder of CEO of an impressive scaleup because a strong network and knowing who to get help from is key to fast-tracking growth

“The practical advice I got from two founders was genuinely transformative to both my business and effectiveness as a leader.”

Zandra Moore
CEO, Panintelligence
