Early career and tech ventures
[edit]During the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, Ndoro Mind co-founded DigitalDance.com, one of the first online club culture platforms in the UK. The company partnered with Orange Mobile and evolved into Clubtickets.com, which became one of the largest event ticketing platforms in the UK and Ibiza before its acquisition by the Spanish firm Easy Ticket S.L(https://www.clubtickets.com/es/)
He later launched MyCityVenue.com, a digital platform that sourced event venues and amassed over one million subscribers before being acquired by SecretEscapes.com in 2014.( https://techcrunch.com/2014/07/24/secret-acquisition/)
Hospitality and members’ clubs
[edit]In the early 2010s, Ndoro Mind transitioned into hospitality, founding several notable private members’ clubs and boutique venues in London.
- Apartment 58: a creative members’ club in Soho known for design-led interiors and cross-industry networking.
- LIBRARY: a hybrid members’ club and boutique hotel near Covent Garden, which grew to more than 7,000 members and a database of 70,000.[1]
- ARBORETUM: a sustainability-focused members’ club described by Country & Town House as “the greenest members’ club and co-working space in town.”
These venues received widespread coverage in GQ, Tatler, Wallpaper, Elle, Evening Standard, Harpers Bazaar, Forbes, BBC CEO Secrets, and Reuters.
Social and cultural projects
[edit]In 2018, Ndoro Mind launched London’s Big Read in partnership with the Mayor of London’s office.
