Two black lines are curved around the star shape like a stem and a leaf. The image resembles a flower design, with a bright, striking star-shaped flower on a green stem.

Our vision

Transforming Ideas into Impact

We think learning entrepreneurship is much more than building a business, it's about developing a mindset of curiosity, creativity and determination and building the lifelong skills of problem solving and adaptability.

What someone learns trying to build a startup will benefit their life and career trajectory, regardless of whether they become a founder.

But today's startup education isn't as inclusive as it should be – with socio-economic barriers like access to capital and connections, and cultural stereotypes around who can become a founder often shutting talented people out before they've even started.

We believe the founder mindset is a powerful tool that needs to be distributed equally, that people from all walks of life should be able to benefit from these valuable skills and try their hand at entrepreneurship.

And that means the London startup ecosystem is losing out on untapped potential, fresh ideas and a wave of unrealised ventures.

So we've designed our programmes to break down the barriers to getting started, providing tailored support and encouragement at each step, from getting curious about entrepreneurship to building a business and beyond.

And we're on a mission to make learning startup skills accessible to anyone.
