Organisation Overview
Conduit Members’ Club
Our central London home is where our unique purpose-driven community gathers to connect and collaborate.
It’s also where we convene our globally-recognised impact program of conferences, talks, workshops, panels and debates. We bring thought leaders, experts and activists together with decision-makers in industry, business and government who can make change happen, sharing expertise, breaking silos, and fostering collective action to solve challenges.
Conduit Solutions Lab
Launched in 2026, The Conduit Solutions Lab is our engine for turning insights into action. The Lab identifies promising opportunities for impact that emerge from our convenings, partnerships and community, incubating bold ideas into tested, fundable and scalable solutions.
Conduit Foundation
The Conduit Foundation seeks to channel funding toward ambitious, early-stage initiatives that require collaboration over competition. The Conduit supports the Foundation through donations of staff time, office space and funding for core operational costs
Conduit Connect
Conduit Connect is an impact investing platform, connecting values-aligned investors to vetted investment opportunities and events. It backs pre-seed to Series A, UK-based start-ups with diverse founding teams and scalable, impactful business models.
Conduit Insights
We curate and disseminate the expertise, knowledge, evidence and perspectives that arise from our community, convenings, Solutions Lab initiatives and funding, spotlighting new trends, emerging solutions and the voices driving them.
We live stream our key impact events, and offer recordings of many events our YouTube channel @theconduitlondon. Each week, we send out our insights newsletter The Radical Realist.
Together, our collective organisation forms a powerful ecosystem – where ideas meet capital, community meets content, and purpose meets action.

Our Mission & How We Have Impact
The world has a web of complex problems that we’re solving too slowly in silos, in regions, within industry, private vs public, alone.
Our mission is to break down these silos by convening, inspiring and catalysing collective action to accelerate solutions to the world’s most urgent challenges.
Our Founding Story
Paul van Zyl and Nick Hamilton founded The Conduit after years of attending global conferences, where they discussed some of the world’s most pressing challenges. They wanted to create a space where changemakers could gather all year round, not just at big events.
