Leeds ยท West Yorkshire

Are you a high roller in Leeds?

Plenty of rooms will take your money. Very few filter who else is in them, which is the only thing that makes a room worth joining.

The Operator is a private, vetted membership for people building real things. Leeds is the financial centre of the north. Banking, legal and a fast-growing digital sector, with a tight professional network where the same names recur.

Apply for membership

Applications are reviewed by hand. Not everyone is accepted.

What most high rollers in Leeds are dealing with

  • Networks that sell access rather than curate it
  • Rooms full of people selling to each other rather than building
  • Paying for proximity to a name rather than to peers

What membership gives you

  • Vetted membership, so everyone in the room cleared the same bar you did
  • Small and deliberately capped rather than scaled for volume
  • Operators with real businesses, not a mailing list with a price on it

Members meet online and, in Leeds, in person. Around the Financial Quarter, Holbeck, Chapel Allerton and the rooms you would expect: The Man Behind The Curtain, Issho, The Ivy Victoria Quarter.

Membership in Leeds is by application

Tell us what you are building and what you want from the room. The vetting is what keeps it worth being in.
