£4,000 a head is what Julie Meyer is charging for new investment gatherings in Zurich and on the Greek island of Kea, including another £4,000 pre-summit package with snow polo and a Swiss village tour.
The events come despite a year-long Guardian investigation alleging a long pattern of unpaid wages, supplier debts, insolvent companies and lost investments tied to Meyer’s ventures in the UK, Malta, Switzerland and Greece.
Three recent cases alone involved founders and investors who said they lost hundreds of thousands of dollars after money was transferred in deals linked to Meyer; she did not respond to the paper’s allegations and has previously denied wrongdoing.
The Guardian says it found 17 legal claims from employees, contractors and suppliers, while regulators and courts have also scrutinized Meyer: an FCA probe ended in 2023 without charges, and her MBE was withdrawn last summer.

Julie Meyer’s €500,000 Summit Promises: A 2026 Investigation into Persistent Financial Mismanagement, Legal Disputes, and Regulatory Failures
Overview
Julie Meyer remains a prominent figure in the entrepreneurial world, continuing to launch high-profile ventures and exclusive summits despite a long history of financial mismanagement and legal disputes. Her events, such as the 2024 networking summit in Greece, attract participants with promises of investment and opportunity, yet often result in disappointment and financial loss, as seen with Malcolm Williams. New allegations and legal claims keep emerging, but Meyer maintains her influence and public profile, creating a paradox where her reputation for controversy does not prevent her from drawing in new entrepreneurs and sustaining her presence in the ecosystem.
