Members of The Right Room talking by the window at VEGA Glasgow
Private network for ambitious men in Scotland

Everything changes when you're in the right room.

A private, invite-only network for men who are building something and want to be around others doing the same.

What is The Right Room

The room ambitious men have been looking for.


Most men spend their entire lives in the wrong room.

Surrounded by people who think small, who talk about what they're going to do, who have accepted average. And no matter how driven you are, that environment will pull you back to its level every single time.

The Right Room is a curated brotherhood of ambitious men in Scotland. No facades. No business cards. Just real connection, real conversations, and men who are honest about where they are and serious about where they're going.

The right people. The right conversations. The right standard.

Who it's for

This is for the man who...

  1. Is building something, a business, a vision, a life worth living, and wants to be around men who are doing the same.
  2. Is the most driven person in his circle but has nobody around him who truly thinks at his level.
  3. Knows he is capable of more and understands that the room he is in is either pulling him forward or holding him back.

If that is you, you belong here.

How it works

Fewer gatherings. Better ones.

The room runs on a simple rhythm. Every event is planned properly and worth clearing your diary for.

Every quarter

Flagship events

The main gatherings. Four times a year, the whole room comes together in a setting that matches where we're going. Real conversations, the right people, and a day you'll remember.

In between

Intimate gatherings

Smaller groups, real settings. Dinners, padel, a few hours with a handful of men who get it. The conversations that only happen when the room is small.

Always on

The community

Access to the men in the room between events. Where wins get shared, challenges get worked through, and ideas meet the right people.

No membership fee. Access is by application, and every application is reviewed personally.

Inside the room

The Right Room at VEGA, Glasgow.

The man behind the room

Built by someone who needed it first.

Derek Alexander Elder built The Right Room after realising how lonely the journey of entrepreneurship can be.

Coming out of school, he had nobody around him who was in business or building something. The connections he did make came through agencies, mentorships and coaching programmes, and they were few and far between. He knew there had to be a better way. So he built it.

By invitation only

The Right Room is not for everyone.

But for the right man, it changes everything. Access is by application only, and every application is reviewed personally.
