THE FOUNDING CIRCLE

The Founding Circle.

Twenty people. Chosen from around the world. Invited to help shape what EKLEKTOS becomes.

Every great institution begins with a small group of people who believe in what it can become.

The EKLEKTOS Founding Circle will bring together 20 exceptional individuals from around the world, each personally invited to play a part in the formative chapter of our institution.

They will come from different countries, cultures, industries and disciplines.

Entrepreneurs and innovators. Philanthropists and investors. Leaders in science, technology, sport, culture and society.

Their achievements will be extraordinary.

But achievement alone will not be enough.

THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Selected with exceptional care.

The Founding Circle will be selected with exceptional care.

We are looking for people whose experience, judgement, character and perspective can contribute meaningfully to the institution we are building.

People who have achieved at the highest level, but who also understand that success creates the opportunity to contribute.

  • People who are curious about others.
  • People who value trust.
  • People who think beyond themselves.
  • And people whose presence makes the room stronger.

BUILDING SOMETHING THAT LASTS

A unique place in our history.

The Founding Circle will have a unique place in the history of EKLEKTOS.

Its members will be invited not simply to join an institution, but to help shape one.

Their experience and perspective will inform our thinking as EKLEKTOS develops its membership, experiences, relationships, global reach and capacity to create meaningful impact.

We want the Founding Circle to challenge us.

  • To introduce ideas we haven't considered.
  • To connect people who should know one another.
  • To open doors.
  • To help us understand what a truly world-class private institution should become.
  • And, collectively, to establish the standards and culture that future generations of EKLEKTOS Members will inherit.

TWENTY PEOPLE. ONE FOUNDING CIRCLE.

United by something more important than success alone.

We believe something extraordinary can happen when the right people are brought together with the right intent.

Twenty remarkable individuals.

Different journeys. Different perspectives. Different capabilities.

But united by something more important than success alone.

A desire to use what they have learned, built and achieved to create value for others.

The Founding Circle will be the beginning.

From there, EKLEKTOS will grow carefully and deliberately towards a global membership of no more than 1,000 exceptional people.

And every person invited into that community will carry the same responsibility: to leave EKLEKTOS stronger because they became part of it.

BY INVITATION

Not applied for. Not purchased.

Membership of the EKLEKTOS Founding Circle cannot be applied for or purchased.

Each of its 20 members will be personally invited.

Because the question at the heart of our selection will never simply be:

"What has this person achieved?"

It will be:

"What could this person bring to the other 999?"
