Hey everyone!

I’m Joran. I’ve been in the ecom space for about 6 years now. I spent 4 years building a few brands in the hobby niche and sold them 2 years ago. Since then, I’ve invested in other brands and founded Glowdip about a year ago.

I love learning new things and connecting with other founders who are building cool stuff! I also recently became a dad, so planning and working at a whole new level now. Looking forward to connecting!

Hey everyone,
Excited to join this group!
I'm Sander, founder of Breaking Limits , a fitness brand from the Netherlands. We sell fitness equipment through our webshop and on marketplaces in Europe and the US.

We see every customer as an athlete and try to give them that extra bit of motivation to reach their health goals. Right now, we’re working on an online app to help guide them with workouts, product use, and building a supportive community around it.

Looking forward to connecting and learning from all of you!

Hey everyone - Happy Easter! I’m Oli, one of the co-founders of, Make Waves (www.wearemakewaves.com). We’re on a mission to make sustainability accessible to all, starting with our award winning refillable Antiperspirants! We’re proudly 100% UK made, vegan friendly, cruelty free and 1% for the Planet members.

Before Make Waves, both Owen (co-founder) and I worked in finance (VC / M&A / Big 4) and for our sins are both boring accountants, so if you have any finance based questions, please reach out.

Our goal is to build a brand that blends performance, sustainability, and design - without compromise! It’s a privilege to join the community (thanks @Patrick Crowley), really looking forward to connecting, contributing and learning from others.

I’m based in London and I’m always up for grabbing a coffee and hearing about what people are up to.

Hi everyone, I’m Thomas, the founder and CEO of Safe Age ( www.safeage.eu ).

Looking forward to connecting with all of you. 🚀

Hi guys

Great to be a part of this community.

I'm Elliot, the founder of EGL Group, a UK company that focuses on creating personalised gift propositions. Our two main brands are Engravers Guild (engraversguild.co.uk) and Lovelox (loveloxlockets.com), with EG being a generalised gift website selling anything that can be personalised (e.g. engraved watches, jewellery, bags, hip flasks, etc.) and LL specialising in lockets.

We're a team of about 10 at the moment and have just moved to new premises which gives us scope to do a lot more. We're looking to launch a men's jewellery brand and also scale our existing offers over the next 18 months.

Outside of work I love playing sport and theatre. My girlfriend has also got me on a bit of a wellness journey as well.

I haven't made it to one of the meet-ups yet, but looking forward to meeting you in person.

Great to have you Julian!!

Welcome Jack!

I'm the CEO of Matrix Brands (www.matrixbrands.com) - we have a portfolio of Beauty, Health and Wellness brands including Arkive Headcare (www.arkiveheadcare.com) and Cowshed (www.cowshed.com).

We do £60m in revenue and have traditionally been wholesale first - we're growing and learning in the world of Ecomm, Social commerce and platforms. Our brands are distributed in the UK, EU, Aus, US and China.

We're based in Central London but I commute in from Barcelona most weeks where I live with my partner and 2 amazing children. I love to ski, play tennis, I'm learning Padel and I love all things food and wine.

I look forward to chatting with, and meeting all you at some point soon.

Finally bro! 🙌
