The Founders Retreat 2026
The Founders Retreat 2026 · Gran Canaria
Three days to break, make and reset, with the founders building London's best startups.
Not Boring Founders is taking 20 founders off-grid to an exclusive hillside villa in Gran Canaria. This isn't a conference. It's a break-and-make retreat: two mornings of founder mastermind wrapped in sun, sea, and the kind of unstructured downtime where the real conversations happen. You'll leave refreshed, clearer on how you build, and with 19 other founders who actually get it.
📍 Where
An exclusive hillside villa in Playa San Agustín, ours entirely. Ocean views, heated pool, infrared sauna, jacuzzi, and enough kit (kayaks, bikes, archery, outdoor cinema…) to never be bored.
