For every entrepreneur who wishes they could get 10 minutes of 1:1 time with an Angel investor, this is your chance! I think of this as Angel speed dating. We do this quarterly, last quarter we had roughly 20 angels meeting with 38 companies. Every entrepreneur met with at least two angels.

Imagine Alex, an aspiring entrepreneur with big dreams and an even bigger to-do list. Overwhelmed by the startup maze, Alex stumbled upon YAB here in Manchester, seeking guidance and support. At her first YAB session, the focus was on 'Getting Your Business Off the Ground.' Surrounded by seasoned business leaders and fellow startups, Alex was not just another attendee but the heart of a mastermind, diving deep into the essential first steps of her business plan. Advice poured in, tailored to Alex’s unique needs—from refining her business model to pinpointing her target market. The community’s support was palpable, transforming her uncertainty into actionable clarity! By the session's end, inspired by the wealth of knowledge and encouragement, Alex traded her yellow guest lanyard for a green member one. She had found her tribe—a dynamic network of motivated individuals who thrive on mutual success. Interested in experiencing this for yourself? Whether you’re at the idea stage or scaling up, YAB Central Manchester or YAB Stockport are your gateway to a community that empowers and supports. 📩 Spaces are limited! DM me to get on the waitlist to secure a free guest pass for either YAB Central Manchester or YAB Stockport in June! Don’t miss out on the opportunity to transform your business with the support of our vibrant community. Will we be seeing you there?! #YABSouthManchester #EntrepreneurJourney #BusinessTransformation #NetworkingSuccess #CommunitySupport

It was awesome to be at the Antler Amsterdam office yesterday, connecting with an exceptional group of 70 founders from the first residency cohort of 2024. Their passion and drive to find co-founders and build their next ventures was super inspiring! My goal was to pay it forward to future founders to make the entrepreneurial journey less about unnecessary suffering and more about smart, sustainable success. Some highlights that we shared together: 1. Stay sane. It's a mental and physical game of grit 🧘♂️ 2. Learn to love to fail and start hugging rejection. Dig into every "no" to find a better "yes"🌟 3. Your co-founder is your business spouse. Relationship therapy isn't just for couples...😁 Wishing all the founders and the Antler Team the best of luck on their entrepreneurial journey! #AntlerAmsterdam #payitforward #Entrepreneurship #InspiringFounders 🔥 ⭐️ 🚀
