Our Community
Based in the heart of Brixton, we've cultivated a vibrant entrepreneurial community. Our mission is clear: To bridge the city with the black founder community. By forging partnerships with industry leaders such as Google for Startups, DeepMind, Goldman Sachs, NatWest Bank, and General Catalyst, we've orchestrated a series of impactful initiatives. These include fireside chats, workshops, offering essential grant funding, and extending invaluable pro-bono support. If you're keen to explore the possibilities of a partnership, we're happy to connect.

Our Four Runners program is the UK's first black tech incubator designed to transform Brixton, in the heart of London, into the home of black tech.
We are looking to partner with four gold standard industry leaders in Legal, Tech, Marketing and Finance to help deliver this truly ground-breaking initiative.
As a cornerstone partner, you will take a key position in bridging the black entrepreneurial community and the city.

Grant schemes offer a promising avenue, but barriers to entry hinder access for bootstrapped founders. Our solution is to enable black access to grant funding by establishing a multi-year program aimed at providing 150 grants to fuel the growth and success of a diverse spectrum of black-owned businesses. Corporates, we invite you to connect with us to explore meaningful partnerships that amplify the impact of this initiative and contribute to the growth and diversity of the entrepreneurial landscape.
Let’s work together.
