Three seats. Three different stories.
You do not need a finished business to belong in the room. You need something worth building — and the will to build it.
The opportunity
Your next breakthrough
might not be another idea.
It might be the right room.
Talent is everywhere. Access is not. We're opening three places at our table to people we have never met — but genuinely want to discover.

We're not looking for
the next quick win.
We're looking for
what's worth building.
A strong business creates income. A meaningful business also solves problems, serves people and leaves something valuable behind.
Who it's for
One of these is probably you.
Selection criteria
We're not searching for the most polished pitch.
We're searching for the people most likely to do something meaningful with the opportunity.
01
Purpose
A meaningful reason for building the business.
02
Potential
An idea or existing business with genuine room to develop.
03
Character
Integrity, responsibility and openness to guidance.
04
Commitment
A willingness to take action — not simply talk about it.

Is investment guaranteed?+
No. Selected applicants may be considered for future EEG investment, but this is subject to further discussions, suitability and due diligence.
Do I need a professional pitch video?+
No. We care more about the clarity, purpose and potential of your idea than production quality. A clear video recorded on your phone is sufficient.

Reasonable UK travel to and from the event will be arranged or covered by EEG for the three selected applicants, subject to the campaign's travel terms and agreed limits.
Where is the event?+
Full venue details will be shared with the selected applicants.
