The Society of Leadership Fellows is a community of CEOs/Directors limited to 250 members from all industries and sectors of the UK, and also a number of other countries. Leadership Fellows agree to join a high trust Leadership Conversation at least once a year, through which we “nurture each other’s wisdom as leaders”. The aim of the Society is to enable individuals in a wide range of leadership positions to draw on the resources and the space that we offer to support them in their own development as leaders. We offers Fellows a number of ways in which to participate in the course of any one year. On our website (button above) we offer a general introduction to the Society, as well as summarising the leadership experiences of each of our Fellows. Its links and videos should tell you all that you need to know. The Society is part of the wider community of St George’s House, founded in 1966 by H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh and the then Dean of Windsor, Robin Woods, as a place where people of influence and responsibility in every area of society can come together to explore and communicate their views and analysis of contemporary issues.

Tera Ventures is an international investment firm based in Estonia. Tera helps some of Europe’s most disruptive technology companies scale and become global leaders. We back ambitious founders and their compelling visions at pre-seed and seed stage. Founded in 2016, Tera Ventures has 12 active investments in its first fund (that we previously managed under SmartCap). We are also proud of our previous exits from GrabCAD, Modesat, VitalFields, Startup Wise Guys, and others. The team at Tera Ventures consists of investors and advisors from around the world who have created exceptional value and personally made the journey from founders to acquisition or IPO of several digital tech companies. We believe in and strongly support founders and great teams and possess a very Silicon Valley-approach to helping our companies – we have worked in all weather conditions and life cycles of startups and are there to support our clients’ success. We are tenacious, ambitious and experienced in making it happen. Whatever it takes. We have a presence in Estonia and Finland, plus global contacts and experience. We leverage and create access to global markets and capital pools, as well as value creation and realization for our portfolio companies. As former global entrepreneurs ourselves, we have walked in the shoes of our clients, and we place the relationships with our founders at the heart of our business.
