Wearing both my hats as co-founder of Magic Sauce Online and Head of Education & Programming at Diversity-X I'm stoked to be supporting this with our platform and even going over to Brizzle to support in person for one of the days. It's been a while since I've been there so I'm looking forward to seeing how it's changed. Apply now, it'll be Gert Lush!

Whisper it softly...we're just about to onboard 10 alpha testers and then we're going to onboard our wait list of investors and founders for beta launch. Link is in comments. If you're an under-represented founder or sophisticated investor wanting to invest in the most effective kind of founder, then please come join our wait list. The waiting is nearly over! The platform has around 60h of learning & templates on the founder side. Your decks will be assessed (as will your knowledge) before people can see your decks. If you're in the UK, then you'll essentially get free roll up SPV's if you want to get a lot of people into one round (much cheaper than crowdfunding) for a round of 50k or over. We're aiming to do this in the EU next and then US as well. We're changing the rules. We're tilting the playing field. Come help make it happen. Thanks to all of our supporters along the way and the communities we're part of, not least for sharing your problems, journeys, barriers and solutions.

A massive shout out to our amazing panel Marquis Caines , Khurram Khan ✪ , Jeevan Mann & Tej Randeva It was great to have Khurram and Jeevan give their time to share updates on how their businesses have grown and evolved since joining us on in the series of Diverse Founders earlier this year.

Last week, I had the pleasure of catching up with a remarkable founder I met at a Diversity-X networking event. Rebecca 🦩 Leppard's journey of founding a marketing agency in #Southampton is nothing short of inspirational. You can read more about her story and support her cause here: https://lnkd.in/eg66HHP5 Rebecca's story reminds me of the incredible power and authenticity that founders bring to their brands. Her resilience and dedication are akin to those of iconic founders like Allyson Felix, whose brand #Saysh is a beacon of purpose and integrity, and Yvon Chouinard of #Patagonia, who has set a gold standard for corporate responsibility. At #LACE, we strive to emulate these North Star brands, defined by: #Authenticity: Staying true to our mission and values. #Tenacity: Overcoming obstacles with unwavering determination. #Impact: Making a positive difference in the world. #Inspiration: Motivating others through our journey and actions. Surrounding ourselves with real-life North Stars like Rebecca is essential. They guide us, inspire us, and remind us of the heights we can reach with passion and perseverance. What are your North Star brands? How do they inspire you? For more info on LACE visit: www.lace.team #NorthStar #Inspiration #StartupJourney #BrandValues #Entrepreneurship #LACE
