“The advice, introductions and links provided through the MeWe programme and network have been  instrumental in the development of our business.”

“Meeting like-minded people and seeing that our struggles are universal despite our different  businesses really gave me confidence.”

“I’ve really benefited from the mentoring. After every session we’ve been able to unlock a new way of thinking about something.”

“The incredible team has been very responsive, supporting us at the drop of a hat. The opportunity to learn from esteemed professionals was both beneficial and positively challenging.”

“It was really beneficial to encounter other founders from outside our ‘bubble’. It helped for big picture thinking and a reminder of how to engage with those who don’t know about us or the type of work we do.”

“The past year has been transformational for us. We set targets now, we are building a ratecard too and we know what our base fees must be and rarely go underneath them. We have a clearer plan for how both Tum and I get to full time.”

“I do feel more resilient and a better leader coming out of these 12 months. I’ve been able to navigate tricky situations like ending a work contract with more confidence and have more belief in myself.”

“The business support has been amazing from the MeWe team and led me to contact sponsors that I would not have  normally. The check-ins were great and I felt like I was very much valued by the MeWe team and still do, which is lovely.”

“She’s a perfect fit! Understood the company  and needs very well. Thank you  for finding my mentor.”

“With MeWe you are literally skipping over months, or even years, of trial and error. I’m light years ahead of where I used to be.”

“I grew the confidence to approach past connections and make progress with a new lead from a corporate retailer to have a steadier supply.”

“Our Mentor linked us up with 2 people who have licensed another product of ours. [This was] the  biggest thing to happen to our company and product and an incredible opportunity.”

“That was my favourite session from any programme, ever”

“My mentor taught me the importance of incremental thinking to get the foundations right. I grew enormously during this period.”

“The clarity MeWe has given is big. The business plan influenced our work. Lots of our services were informal and it helped give it structure.”

“Our mentor’s insight has been amazing and it’s getting us to think about strategy differently.”

“My mentor helped me with the ‘WHY ADDA’? This was really helpful in establishing relationships with schools, as it helped them to see how it would benefit their students and institutions.”

“It was so invaluable hearing everyone else’s journey and experiences. I can feel really lonely sometime, even if you are in a team.”

“My mentor’s approach with focusing on the wellbeing aspects of my life have significantly changed my perspective as a founder. It’s helped me tackle my unrealistic expectations of my energy levels.”

“For me, it was a day spent catching up with fellow founders and feeling really hopeful for the trajectory of this year. Thank you for the wonderful session and so great to see how business is going for all the amazing cohort.”

“A solid reminder of the Nigerian saying, ‘body no be firewood.’ Thank you MeWe for creating such a nurturing space for us.”
