What our community
says...
Hannah Blair
Co-founder of VR Calm
At Startup 54 I met my co founder, Samar Babiker, who is a medical student at St George's University. I also built a great network and picked up a lot of skills on how to build a business. I'm sure that VR Calm would not be the company it is today if it weren't for Startup 54.
Daniel Tuitt
Foundervine Fellow
Now more than ever founders need to be equipped with the right skills and resources to solve the challenges of the future. While working with entrepreneurs at Foundervine, I have seen the level of untapped talent and quality of businesses developed in the right incubated environment.
In 2021, the ‘Black. British. In Business & Proud Report’ published 10 recommendations to help break down systemic barriers & create a more equitable future for Black-owned businesses to thrive. The Immerse programme offers a range of initiatives and events that directly respond to many of the
10 recommendations.
