Triton Square Work Cafe Santander, London
Connect with ambitious doers in London! Meet like-minded entrepreneurs, share ideas, and take action. June 16th | Free event | 35 spots
An entrepreneurial community for high-achievers to collaborate, stay accountable, and grow—where bold ideas come to life.
You’ve always thought bigger, moved faster, and aimed higher—but the people around you didn’t always get it. Your ambition was called “too much,” your ideas “unrealistic,” and your drive left you feeling like the odd one out. You’ve craved real conversations about business, creativity, and pushing limits, but instead, you often found yourself stuck in small talk that drained you.
“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”
That’s why we created ProductivityBears—a community for serious action-takers, bold thinkers, and ambitious doers. Here, you’ll meet people who push you, challenge you, and actually understand what you’re trying to build. No fluff, no time-wasters—just real connections with like-minded entrepreneurs ready to take action.
Join us in Central London for an evening of high-energy networking, collaboration, and big ideas. Free event with only 35 spots available, so grab your ticket now!
To join this event, you must fill out our community form. Joining the community is optional, but we use the information about your background and business objectives to deliver a better, bespoke event experience for you.
