Tulasi Parmar, founder of TULASI and a Foundry 1.0 alumna, has won the 2026 LDC Youth Ambition Award, presented at BAFTA as part of LDC’s Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders programme.
The award recognises her approach to combining traditional craftsmanship with digital innovation through her womenswear label. Support from The King’s Trust Enterprise Programme, including mentorship and £5,000 in funding, also helped Tulasi bring her vision to London Fashion Week with a pop-up.
Natalie Narh, founder of NewComma and a BFA 6.0 alumna, has won the 2026 AllBright everywoman Pitch Day, competing alongside four other finalists.
Natalie will receive a £19,840 growth package, including digital advertising from AllBright, PR support from LT PR and a year of Tide Max membership, providing valuable support for NewComma’s next stage of growth.
Alan Hunte, founder of Thoth London and a BFA 7.0 alumnus, has closed a £90,000 investment.
His sustainability and built-environment consultancy uses immersive virtual and augmented reality to help developers visualise projects early. The investment marks an exciting milestone for Alan and the business.
Congratulations to Tulasi, Natalie and Alan! We’re proud to celebrate their progress and look forward to seeing what comes next.
