The home venue
Claridge's hosted our first edition in 2022 and an afternoon for female founders in IT: talks first, then time to meet each other.
Case study, since 2022
Fast Growth Icons: four years on the road
We Stream is a London video and photo production company that films conferences and founder events. Fast Growth Icons, the invitation-only network for founders and chief executives run by Uday Singh, has booked us for photo and video since 2022, in London, Manchester, Stockholm and Berlin.
FGI London 2025 at Claridge's, 1 minute 50 seconds, mostly candid moments in the room.
- 2022first edition we covered, at Claridge's
- 4cities: London, Manchester, Stockholm, Berlin
- 5,435edited photos delivered across the editions
- 30minutes between photo hand-offs on the event day
How the day runs
Photos while the room is still full
The brief has not changed since the first London edition: guests should be posting photos with the FGI name on them while the event is still running, and the organisers need films to sell the next one. Each event runs over two days, and the first batch of photos usually goes out around lunch.
Every 30 minutes a photographer comes back to the editing table, hands over the card and goes back into the room with an empty one.
In the next 30 minutes the editors upload, select and colour-grade the new frames.
Before upload each photo gets the FGI watermark, then goes online for guests and the FGI social channels.
The film follows within a day or two, because editing, grading and sound take longer than a photo.
Where we followed them
Six rooms, one series
As Fast Growth Icons grew across Europe, they took the same crew with them, so every edition looks like part of one series.
London, Eight Club and the Bulgari Hotel
Dinner one night, conference the next
A private dinner for the speakers, then a full conference day. The Bulgari Hotel has hosted the networking evenings and, in 2025, part of the London programme.
London, Rothschild & Co
A high-rise over the City
An evening hosted with Rothschild & Co in their own building, where entrepreneurs met business leaders to talk about growth. The film uses the view across the city.
Manchester, 2024
A smaller room
A small group of IT entrepreneurs learning from people who have built billion-dollar companies, filmed and photographed over the day.
Stockholm, May 2024
A gilded ballroom and a rooftop
Stage interviews, roundtables and an evening on a rooftop terrace. The full gallery is on gallery.westream.uk.

"I lucked out with We Stream from day one. They looked at the beauty of the work, not just the features, they have an eye. Speed has never been a problem; the difference is the quality and finish, and every so often you see a real touch of magic. That's the main thing that sets them apart."
"What's been so great about working with We Stream is that they understand the product and self-manage on the day. With them, it's effortless."
