FAQ
Everything you might want to know about BTSC — answered.
❓ What does BTSC stand for?
BTSC stands for Business to Social Club — a name that reflects our belief that meaningful connection doesn’t need to exist in silos. Business and social life can, and should, co-exist beautifully. Our events are designed to create space for both.
❓ What is BTSC?
BTSC is a private events platform and community that curates elegant, high-calibre gatherings for ambitious, likeminded individuals. We bring together founders, investors, professionals, creatives, and socially dynamic individuals for inspiring conversation, valuable introductions, and real connection—both in business and in life.
❓ Is BTSC a club?
We’re not a traditional members’ club with a fixed location or permanent premises. Instead, think of BTSC as a curated community and event series that functions like a club in tone, intimacy, and exclusivity—without the barriers of typical membership models.
You don’t need to apply for membership to join us—you simply need to be invited.
❓ Is membership required?
No membership is required. Our events are currently invite-only, with no subscription, fees, or formal sign-up process. You are welcome to attend individual events as a guest, based on availability and alignment with our community.
We are exploring optional membership tiers in future for those who wish to become more involved, gain early access, and attend events more regularly.
❓ How often do you hold events?
We host a curated calendar of events throughout the year, ranging in scale, theme and setting. While frequency may vary, there is always something to look forward to. You can view the BTSC Calendar at www.btsclub.uk to see what’s coming up this year.
❓ Who are your events for?
BTSC is designed for a wide range of ambitious, open-minded individuals. Our guests include:
- Entrepreneurs & founders
- Investors (angel, VC, family office)
- Executives & high-performing professionals
- Creatives with commercial ideas
- Advisors, consultants, mentors
- Curious, socially intelligent individuals seeking meaningful social expansion
- Couples or solo guests looking for community, connection, or fresh conversation
You don’t need to be a founder to join us. You just need to be curious, open, kind, and thoughtful.
❓ What’s the typical demographic of your events?
Our guests are friends—and friends of friends. We welcome a diverse, cross-generational community, spanning a wide range of industries, backgrounds, and age groups. What unites them is energy, warmth, ambition, and curiosity—not demographics or job titles.
❓ How many people usually attend your events?
Attendance varies depending on the style and setting, but most events welcome 100+ curated guests, creating a lively but intimate atmosphere designed for natural conversation and connection.
❓ Can I attend on my own?
Absolutely—and many of our guests do. BTSC events are designed to be warm, welcoming, and effortlessly social. Whether you arrive solo or with friends, you’ll find plenty of open conversation, easy introductions, and the kind of company that makes you feel instantly included.
❓ Can I bring a friend—or a few?
Yes, you’re very welcome to invite friends who you feel would align with the tone and values of BTSC. Whether for a drinks party or a dinner, sharing these experiences with friends can make the evening even more enjoyable. Please let us know in advance so we can ensure the guest list remains well-balanced.
❓ Can I bring a group of friends?
Yes. Whether you’re attending a drinks party or a seated dinner, you are welcome to enjoy the evening with a group, provided the tone of the group reflects the BTSC ethos. Please inform us in advance if you plan to attend with multiple guests.
❓ Any advice for those attending solo?
Yes—simply be open. Our events are intentionally designed to make solo attendance feel natural and enjoyable. Strike up a conversation, join a group, ask a question, offer a thought. The beauty of BTSC is that everyone is there for the same reason: to connect.
❓ Can I attend just to expand my social circle?
Absolutely. Many of our guests attend purely for social reasons—to meet new people, spark conversation, or expand their circle in a more interesting and intentional way. Whether you’re new to London or simply ready to connect with likeminded people, our gatherings are the perfect space to do so.
❓ What motivates people to attend BTSC events?
Everyone has their own reason. Some come to build business relationships, raise investment, or find collaborators. Others come to meet new friends, explore new perspectives, or enjoy a beautiful evening in good company. There is no single “type” of guest or goal—what unites everyone is a shared openness to possibility.
❓ Is anything else expected on the night, beyond the ticket price?
In most cases, once you’ve purchased your ticket, the experience is fully hosted. That means no surprises, no extras, no awkward bar queues. Whether drinks or dinner, we believe in clarity and generosity—if something should be included, then it is. (Of course, if you request something exotic or off-menu, that’s between you and the bartender.)
❓ I’m Spanish—are your events mainly for British people?
Not at all. BTSC is proud to welcome a truly international mix of guests, including many Europeans, Americans, and global professionals living in London. While English is the common language, the culture of the room is open, inclusive, and globally minded.
❓ Can I recommend BTSC to friends?
Yes, and we’d love that. Our community grows organically—through recommendation, word of mouth, and the natural energy of great people bringing other great people. If you know someone who would thrive in the BTSC environment, please send them our way or invite them to join you at an event.
❓ What types of people usually attend?
BTSC guests are warm, thoughtful, socially intelligent and driven individuals. They are the kinds of people who are building interesting things—whether in business or in life. You’ll meet:
- Founders raising capital
- Investors looking for exceptional people
- Executives between chapters
- Socially active professionals
- Creatives with commercial ambition
- People who ask great questions, listen well, and bring great energy
We value character, not just credentials.
❓ Where are your events held?
Our events take place in London, primarily in Chelsea, Belgravia, Mayfair, and surrounding areas—often in beautiful private venues or members clubs. We occasionally host off-site or themed experiences in other locations, and we’re exploring future expansion in the UK and abroad.
❓ Can brands or businesses partner with BTSC?
We occasionally collaborate with aligned brands, businesses, and venues for co-hosted events or bespoke experiences. If you’re interested in a thoughtful partnership, please reach out—we’re always open to collaboration that adds genuine value to our guests.
