Our Story

Founded in 2009 by Alex Hoye, Josh March, Peter Ward, and Andrew J. Scott, The ICE Network was born from a ski trip where founders gather to share experiences navigating through the high and lows of entrepreneurship. This tradition sparked the idea behind ‘ICE’ (International Collective of Entrepreneurs).

The ICE Network has become a nurturing hub focused on both personal and professional development, creating a supportive and safe environment for all members. As a not-for-profit organisation, The ICE Network is primarily funded through the contributions of partners and members subscriptions.

Headquartered in London, The ICE Network is now a vibrant global community, boasting over 470 members spanning 40 cities. If you are interested in fostering ICE in your city, please do get in touch.
