A genuine community voice, in the room with you
As a HelpBnk ambassador, Rob McCauley is a familiar face on the HelpBnk stage, where he warms up a room and turns a crowd into a community. For Founders on the Coast he is bringing that same energy to East Anglia, at a scale where you can actually meet him.
HelpBnk Ambassador
Rob McCauley
Cultivator of Legends
Speaker, community builder, accountability coach and a HelpBnk ambassador. Rob helps brands, towns and causes turn crowds into communities that show up for one another, and he is brilliant with people just getting started.
Every community already has the people. What it is missing is a voice loud enough, and warm enough, to call them in.
Rob's approach in a line: give first, show up, and watch it lift itself. It is exactly the room we want for founders on the East Coast.
What people say about Rob
“He provides the accountability and structure needed to turn raw learning into real progress. Rob truly is a cultivator of legends.”
“His pure, unfiltered belief that we can all achieve greatness is actually what spurred me on to launch my own business.”

A day built for real founders, not a sales pitch
We are still shaping the programme, and the people who register will help us shape it. Here is the shape of the day we are planning.
A headline keynote
Rob McCauley on building communities and momentum from wherever you are starting, without a big budget or a big network.
Founders in the room
Time and space to meet other founders on the East Coast. The people you meet are half the reason to come.
Practical sessions
Honest, useful sessions on getting an idea off the ground, from people who have actually done it. No fluff.
Close to home
Held in the East of England, so you do not need a train to London and a hotel to be in the room where it happens.
Momentum to take home
You should leave with next steps, new contacts and the nudge to actually take them. That is the point.
Have a say in the day
Register early and we will ask what you want from the programme. The people who show up help shape it.
Made for people near the start, open to founders at every stage
The day leans towards young and aspiring entrepreneurs across East Anglia, the people who have the drive but not yet the network. If you are further along, you are just as welcome, and the room is better for you being in it.
Young and aspiring entrepreneurs in East Anglia with an idea and the drive to start, who need the first push and the right people around them.
Students, apprentices and first-time founders who want to meet people actually doing it, not just read about it.
Early-stage founders already building something on the East Coast who want their people and their momentum around them.
Mentors, investors and community builders who want to back the next generation of founders in the region.
Looking for the Haijahr Founders programme, where we build your software in exchange for a fair share of equity? That is a different thing, and it is here.
