Discover six founder-led communities from across the South West. Meet the builders behind collaborative, supportive ecosystems and find the communities helping founders move further, faster.
BOLD
BOLD is a community for ADHD women creators who want to build purpose-led businesses around their spicy brains. What started as a small WhatsApp group of women solopreneurs (which Amy set up after stepping away from a bad co-founder experience) is now a global movement of 150+ women making BOLD moves. Through peer workshops, exclusive content, and in-person events, BOLD creates spaces where women feel seen, supported and BOLD enough to take their next big step.
At 4 Networking
At 4 Networking is a vibrant business networking community based in Bristol and the Southwest, built on the belief that professional growth and genuine connections go hand in hand. What began as a small gathering has grown into a dynamic network of professionals who meet regularly at curated events that are engaging, fun and impactful. At 4 Networking brings people together to share ideas, spark collaborations, support hospitality venues and give back through charitable partnerships. Members enjoy free benefits including event access, a member directory, active WhatsApp and LinkedIn groups, and exclusive opportunities that help build meaningful business relationships locally.
Freelance Mum
A UK-wide community supporting mums in business through connection, collaboration and flexibility. Founded in 2013 by broadcaster and voiceover artist Faye Dicker, it was born from lived experience of balancing self-employment with motherhood, and the belief that work should fit around family life, not the other way around. What began as a small supportive network has grown into a thriving nationwide community, supporting thousands of mums through local netwalks, online coffee mornings, virtual co-working and practical Lunch & Learns. Passionate and purpose driven, Freelance Mum reduces isolation, builds confidence and creates opportunities without pressure or performative networking, empowering mums to grow businesses on their own terms.
Calibre 100
Calibre 100 is Bath’s premier networking community for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers who value genuine connections. Focused on meaningful relationships rather than sales pitches, our events foster collaboration, opportunity, and growth. Each month, Calibre 100 hosts elegant gatherings in iconic Bath venues, bringing together ambitious professionals from across the South West. Designed for business owners, directors, and senior executives, Calibre 100 offers a space where influence meets authenticity.
The Samphire Club
The Samphire Club is networking at its purest, built on trust, generosity and long-term relationships. Members get to know one another, share knowledge and contacts, and form connections that naturally develop into meaningful business opportunities. Renowned for quality, the Club is an invaluable resource, driving growth across the South West. Events range from intimate working breakfasts to relaxed members-and-guests dinners, celebrating face-to-face connection and mutual support. Exceptional hospitality is central, with events at outstanding venues showcasing fine food and drink. Members also benefit from introductions via founder John Harvey’s extensive network, alongside decades of business development experience and charitable fundraising.
Align with Agni
A growing sisterhood of women from across Bristol and the South West who are done with people-pleasing and ready to come home to themselves. Through regular events, connection with cacao & blue lotus tea and holistic alignment work, Agni creates sacred spaces where women can stop performing and start feeling. With never any expectation or need to "fit in", Agni’s sisters come as they are with a simple purpose; to break free from the patterns that keep them exhausted and invisible, and reconnect with who they truly are beneath the duties & roles we play.
