The Power of Collective Thinking: An introduction to House of Genius
London’s secret and most engaging entrepreneurial event attended by top founders, VCs and C-level executives.
What if you filled a room with some of the city’s highest achievers, then you don’t let them talk about it?
That is the beauty of House of Genius, an invitation-only networking event where introductions are left until the very end, so that conversations can be about the ideas and genius collaboration between one another.
The thesis: Networking is broken. House of Genius, brings together 12 to 16 people you don’t normally surround yourself with to collaborate on solving a business problem. The only rule: everyone participates by discussing ideas rather than job titles.
Each House of Genius session is filled with a curated panel who will support three small businesses solve their most pressing challenges via a moderated discussion. Panelists listen to 3 business owners “pitch their problems” then, each panelist has 1 minute to provide them with feedback.
Some of the panelists are seasoned professionals: serial entrepreneurs, corporate executives or investors; Others are students, full time parents or entrepreneurs who are just getting started. Regardless of background, everyone follows the same rule — no talking about what you do. By keeping backgrounds anonymous, the room becomes an even playing field. Connections are formed around ideas and collectively, panelists create genius.
Since its inception, House of Genius has grown based on grassroots demand from USA to Europe. The model works, but don’t believe us! See yourself what people are saying about House of Genius.
“What happens when you stop talking about yourself? Blunt, constructive feedback. Thanks for the invite — inspiring”

“Just wanted to say thank you SO much for organising such a valuable event. I’ve been to many in the last 2 years and this has been the most worthwhile by far. Months of BD and market research in 35 minutes and so liberating to be able to present in a non salesy way and get “real human to human feedback.”

“House of Genius is a refreshing and thoroughly useful way to test the core assumptions of your business. You’ll gain the most from the panel by exposing what you think might be the biggest weaknesses in your strategy, and seeking honest feedback on whether your company is really building something valuable. Leave your ego at the door!”
