What is MEC

AprivateclubforMuslimfounderswhoareactuallybuilding.Smallonpurpose.Reviewed,notsold.

01 / The idea

MEC exists because the most useful thing a founder can have is not a feed. It is the right people, close enough to call. We keep the club small so trust is possible. Members know each other by name, say what is really going on, and open doors for one another without being asked twice.

Not a network. Not a supper club. A room with the right people in it.

Who belongs here

01 / 04

Founders.

With a company, a team and a plan.

02 / Inside

Inside.

Not a programme. A series of rooms, kept small, that members move between across the year.

01

Dinners

Twelve seats. No stage. Long tables and the kind of conversation that only starts after the plates are cleared.

Two members talking through a document

02

Conversations

The real numbers and the real problems. Candid by design, and kept in the room.

03

Introductions

Made by hand, one at a time, to the member most likely to be useful to you now.

04

Late evenings

The ones that run over, and the city outside when they finally end.

And the parts we don't put on a website.

03 / Gatherings

A small programme, kept small. Members see dates and take their seats in the app. Applicants see what the year looks like.

House rules

  • 02What is said here stays here
  • 03Ask the real question
  • 04Show up
  • 05Bring someone worth knowing

06 / Membership

Nobody joins MEC by paying. Every application is read before anyone is invited in, not to be exclusive for its own sake, but because the value of the room depends entirely on who is in it.

  1. 01

    Apply

    A short, considered application. What you are building, where you have been and why this room.

  2. 02

    Review

    Read in full by the people who run MEC. No algorithm. We reply to everyone.

  3. 03

    Welcome

    If it is the right fit, we invite you to complete membership and meet the members you should meet first.

No payment before approval. Applications answered within ten days.

07 / Questions

  1. No. Founders, operators, owners and builders all belong here. Stage matters less than seriousness, and seriousness shows in the application.

08 / The door

The door is open.For a few.

If you are building something meaningful and want the right people around you, tell us.
