Jameisha
Prescod

Founder, You Look Okay To Me

“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.”

Sabella
Ibanez

Co-founder, Pivot

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

Nahum
McLean

Founder, ADDA

“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.”

Akua
Danso

Co-founder, Black Females in Architecture

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

Skanda
Sabbagh

Founder, Everybody’s Climbing Tree

“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.”

Banseka
Kayembe

Founder, Naked Politics

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

Anon

Founder

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

Pete
Barr

“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.”

Ameenah
Begum

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

Ryan Mario

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

Anthony
Daulphin

Founder, Standing Ovation Project

“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.”

Jem
Collins

Founder, Journo Resources

“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.”

Alvin
Owusu

Co-founder, TAG Agency

“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.”

Alisha
Morris

Founder, The Bitten Peach

“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.”

Ola
Christian

Founder, Levile

“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.”

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

David
Newell

“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.”

Vivienne
Isebor

Founder, ADHD Babes

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

Moira
Sinclair

NED. Trustee. Coach. Consultant. Speaker. Chair, Factory International. Former CEO of PHF

“One of the things that has been really fascinating about watching MeWe’s journey has been the complete focus from the very beginning on talent and on the particular need of individuals, and why the world as it was currently constituted really wasn’t getting to grips with that…”

Hilary Carty

Hilary
Carty

Director, Clore Leadership Programme

“MeWe acts as a connecting force for individuals and small organisations who may well get there on their own, but certainly MeWe speeds up the process. It accelerates the learnings and the connections.”
