The Founderβs Walk + Talk Club in collaboration with Self SpaceAbout this event
Event lasts 2 hours Founders, when was the last time you checked in with yourself - properly checked in? Founding is full-on. You carry the vision, the pressure, the highs, the doubt - and somewhere in the middle of that, itβs easy to forget about you.
So on 15 May, from 12β2pm, weβre teaming up with the Self Space founder-therapists for something simple but powerful: a Walk Club for founders who get it. Itβs Mental Health Awareness Week, and the theme this year is community. Weβre taking that seriously.
Come and move your body, share whatever's on your mind- or just walk and listen. Sometimes moving through stuff starts by simply putting one foot in front of the other.
What is Walk Club?
Itβs good conversation in good company.
Itβs therapeutic, without being therapy.
Itβs about clearing your head, getting some fresh air, and reminding yourself youβre not doing this alone.
Led with care by the team atΒ Self Space -Β the worldβs first on-demand mental health service on the high street -this is a space to move, connect, and reset. Their approach is simple but powerful: straightforward, grounded support, whenever you need it. No waiting lists, no jargon, just a good conversation with a qualified person
Come as you are. Leave feeling a little more like yourself.
ποΈ This event is completely free to attend, no strings attached.
A big thank you to TRIP Drinks for making sure we stayed refreshed and ready to go during the event! π¦
Oh, and if you're looking for a digital founder community that really gets it? Youβll find us hanging out over at The Virgin StartUp Community. Come say hey.

A 90-minute walk with the Self Space team walking alongside us. Talk, listen, or just move at your own pace -this is your time.
π€Β 13:45β14:00Β |Β Networking & Wrap Up
