Introducing Raising the Glass Founders on Tap

Community, Closer to Home

Building a drinks or FMCG brand can feel exhilarating… and lonely in equal measure. The big wins are public. The tough days are usually quiet. And too often, support feels miles away. Raising the Glass Founders on Tap exists to change that.

Created by Raising the Glass, Founders on Tap is a growing network of regional founder communities across the UK, bringing challengers together where they are, not just where the big events happen.

About Founders on Tap

Across regions including the North West, South West, Midlands, Scotland, London & South East, we’re building small, trusted founder communities designed for real connection.

Each region includes in-person meet-ups, relaxed socials, conversations, and the occasional guest voice. Hosted by a local RTG ambassador, these events are intentionally small so everyone feels part of it.

Who is it for?

Drinks and FMCG founders.
Early to mid-stage challengers.
Under-represented entrepreneurs.
Allies, advocates and operators who want to support the ecosystem.

What are we building?

We want founders to feel less alone.
To solve problems faster.
To collaborate more.
To strengthen regional ecosystems.
And to open clearer pathways into the wider RTG network.

Ultimately, we want to see more diverse, resilient brands making it onto shelves and into bars and restaurants, and staying there.
