The NEF+ Programme - Centre for Entrepreneurs

We’re excited to announce the launch of Founder Mosaic, designed to bring structure, accountability and support to early-stage entrepreneurs like you! What sets Founder Mosaic apart? 🔹 Curated Circles: Join small, carefully selected circles where you can share challenges, brainstorm solutions, and build lasting connections with diverse, like-minded founders. 🔹 Expert-Led Training: Enhance your leadership and decision-making skills with our facilitation framework, empowering you to navigate challenges and self-run your circle. 🔹 Monthly Meetings: Stay accountable with regular, immutable, circle sessions, set your schedule in advance, and support each other—no excuses. 🔹 Exclusive Resources: Access the broader Founder Mosaic community for valuable insights, workshops, and more. Why us? We created NEF! The 450+ strong entrepreneurial community with a collective valuation of £800M+ across the businesses they’ve built, and we’ve supported. Hear from them on what they found most valuable: "The best thing for me is the networking and being around other aspiring and experienced entrepreneurs. It’s easy to feel imposter syndrome when you’re starting a business, so being surrounded by others just as vulnerable and hungry for growth is incredibly supportive."
