Closing 2025 with Purpose. Opening 2026 with Momentum.
As we close out 2025, we want to begin with a simple thank you.
The Syndicate Global was never created to be “another networking group.” It was built as an ecosystem (designed with intention) for people who value depth over noise, and long-term impact over short-term visibility.
This year, we’ve watched something quietly powerful happen. Leaders, founders, and investors have chosen to step away from the performative, the crowded, and the transactional – and into rooms where conversation is candid, standards are high, and trust is the currency.
Whether you joined us in person, supported from a distance, or followed along, we are grateful. Your presence (and your values) are what make The Syndicate Global what it is. In this blog, we reflect on the year and look to what’s to come – we hope you enjoy.

2025: Moments That Defined the Year
This year was shaped by a consistent theme: meaningful outcomes come from meaningful rooms.
Across 2025, The Syndicate Global convened leaders in spaces chosen not for scale, but for substance.
We began with an intimate gathering at Nobu Hotel, setting the tone for the year – measured conversation, trusted company, and rooms designed for depth rather than performance.
In June, we gathered at The Connaught, where Kelsey Grammer joined us for a candid conversation that moved well beyond the expected. It was a moment that reflected exactly what our community values: perspective earned over time, shared without pretense.
From there, our work became increasingly global. We expanded into Texas, launched our Dubai chapter in the UAE, and closed the year in New York – finishing where global leadership, culture, and ambition naturally converge.
Across every location, one thing remained constant: the calibre of the room. These moments weren’t defined by where we met, but by who was present – and what was possible because of it.
A Year That Took Us Further Than Ever
What continues to inspire us most is what happens between our members.
This year alone, the community generated £890 million in referred business, with a further £640 million pending from Dubai. These numbers are not just impressive – they represent trust, alignment, and relationships that go beyond transactions.
With gratitude to those who made it possible:
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to those who helped shape the year:
- Our main sponsor, n2 Ventures and Anuj Totapudi, for their continued belief in what we’re building — and for the support we’re proud to carry forward into the year ahead.
The Broadway Fund and Curt Cronin, for delivering exceptional VIP Broadway experiences that added something truly special to our community.
Our speakers and contributors, including Nic Marks, Kurt Cronin, Kelsey Grammer, Anuj Totapudi, Bill Marcus, Charlie Engle, Grant Williams, and everyone who stepped onto our stages to deliver genuine value.
A special acknowledgement to Kelsey Grammer, not only for his contribution on stage, but for the relationship that has continued beyond it.
Looking Forward to 2026
This year has been one of growth, opportunity, and connection – and we’re carrying that momentum straight into the next. As we look ahead to 2026, we’re expanding with focus:
New consultancy projects already underway
Significant developments across Conscious Consultants
A steady flow of new members joining the community — each bringing fresh perspective, experience, and energy
None of this exists without our people.
To our members, clients, partners, speakers, and supporters – thank you for trusting us, contributing fully, and helping shape what this community has become.
There is so much more to come.
And we’re just getting started.
