Introduction from the Managing Director
Welcome to the First Edition of the AXD Space Newsletter!
We are delighted to welcome you to the first edition of our Membership Club Newsletter — a new initiative created to keep our members connected, informed, and actively engaged in the journey ahead.
Our membership club is built around one simple objective: creating a community where ambitious founders, entrepreneurs, and business leaders can connect, collaborate, exchange, develop ideas and unlock new opportunities.
Through meaningful conversations, exclusive activities, knowledge-sharing sessions, and strategic connections, we aim to create value for every member.
This newsletter will be your regular window into what is happening inside the membership club. You can look forward to exciting announcements, upcoming events, member activities, exclusive learning & development, success stories and initiatives designed to bring our community closer together.
But this is not just our newsletter — it is your community!
We strongly encourage every member to participate and join activities along with sharing ideas by telling us what you would like to see more of. Your feedback will help shape the future direction of the membership club and ensure that the membership experience continues to deliver real value.
We are excited about what we can build together. Welcome to the journey — and welcome to the first edition.

YP Club
YP Club is a private network for founders serious about scaling. We focus on founders that have crossed $500k revenue through to founders doing nine-figures in global top-line. Built on the basic premise that scaling a business is one of the hardest pursuits a person can do and that doing it alone is harder. We do this by focusing on four core pillars: Community, Knowledge, Capital and last but not least Experiences.
Community involves weekly events, ice breakers and thought-provoking discussions through “The Round” — a carefully designed event to get people discussing real life issues. Circle is a curated group of 8 founders you meet every single month, log your commitments and stay accountable. They are your trusted board of advisors, perfectly matched based on our values and intent.
