Venture capital in London

London has its own vocabulary for this market (clubs rather than networks, subscriptions rather than dues, proposers and seconders rather than applications) and the largest concentration of private members' clubs anywhere. The traditional clubs of St James's and Mayfair, the arts and creative clubs of Soho, and the hotel-based and entrepreneur-focused clubs opened over the last two decades sit alongside the London chapters of the international peer organizations: YPO's London chapters, EO London, Hampton's London chapter, WPO's London chapter, and Founders Forum's invitation-only gatherings. The founder communities and the UK industry bodies (UK Private Capital, Level 20, the Institute of Directors) add a professional layer. Joining fees and subscriptions are published by only a minority of clubs; where a figure has been reported by a named publication it is shown as reported.
