ICE exists to help each other be better leaders in business and better people in life.
Who can become a member?
Membership applications are vetted by your local chapter Membership Committee, who are mandated to apply the membership criteria fairly and objectively. ICE thrives on members who are open to share their experiences and give actively to the community. Our full membership criteria is outlined below;
High-growth
ICE is focused on the high-growth tech ecosystem. We are a community of ambitious Founders who are growing their businesses exponentially.
Tech-centric
We specifically serve Founders of high growth companies whose core product/service is tech-centric or predominantly tech-enabled.
Founder-focused
We are a founder-first organisation, but we also selectively welcome relevant investors (angels and VC’s) who are actively investing in high-growth tech companies.
Stage-agnostic
Our Founders run businesses from early to late stage. We do ask that they have a minimum degree of traction (>£500k or >$650K capital raised and/or >5 full time staff).
Transparency is part of our philosophy. You can see who does what on our ICE Team page.
These are the values we stand by and that we ask all members uphold:
Growth
We're all about becoming bigger and better - both professionally and personally. We want to be better bosses, but we want to be better people, too.
Contribution
With ICE you get out what you put in. As individuals we contribute our knowledge, our time, our understanding. It's this amazing energy that keeps us learning & ICE running.
Respect
Whether just starting out, in the midst of a career, or a battle scarred veteran, we all have experience to share and something valuable to say. ICE flourishes because it is a place of trust and mutual respect.
Overfunning
The joy of ICE is that is takes place via day-trips, delegations, action holidays, dinners and nights out - it's a reset button. In short, it's exactly what we need.
Kinship
We support each other during the highs and lows of being a Founder. We are there for each other with handkerchiefs or champagne. We are an ICE family.
Equality
We are inclusive, promote diversity and lead by example.
