Kathy Margerison, Head of Enterprise at Caritas Westminster said: I am thrilled to announce the launch of our eighth programme! What makes our programme truly exceptional is the dynamic support it provides. Picture personalised one-to-one sessions designed around your needs, engaging group work, and the phenomenal strength of peer support. Our participants frequently share how the entrepreneurial journey no longer feels isolating – the programme turns ideas into thriving realities.
Research is clear. The number one reason start-ups fail is the lack of a functional ecosystem of strategic partners and investors, including co-founders, team members, manufacturing partners, employees and mentors. Without a resourceful operating network, a venture’s downfall is 75% a fact.
At Seeds Hub, we set out to change the landscape of work and collaboration in the third sector. We exist to fill the gap of support for founders who want to start or grow a business for good and who have encountered barriers rooted in inequality and discrimination. We tackle an acute lack of diversity in the start-up community space and our aim is to create economic empowerment for the ones that need it most.
