Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

Hello. We’re Ben Keene and Ben Saul-Garner.

We met on a startup programme that one of us was leading in Bali in 2015. Discovering we both had a lot of similar non-fiction titles on our kindles, often no further than 20% read, we decided to do something about it. This was the beginning of Rebel Book Club.

51 books, 570 subscribing members and £10,000 in MRR later and we’ve not only solved our own bad reading habits but helped a lot more people dive into different topics and share their thoughts with each other.
