Our Mission

A new generation of creators, storytellers, and founders are turning ideas into companies at record speed. They’re building the next wave of media, entertainment, fashion, and community-first brands.

This space is underserved by the existing start-up ecosystem. And yet there is a wealth of individual experience out there.

We connect the next generation of creative founders with the experience, insight and capital they need to build meaningful businesses.


Get Started

Our story

Borne out of early conversations in October 2023 around the growing divergence in media expertise - lots of experienced, senior executives at one end and an increasing number of talented, start-up founders and creators at the other. The two worlds barely intersect, and yet they both have a lot to offer and learn from each other.

We started providing pro-bono support to a few early-stage creative startups, and in turn connecting them with experienced media professionals to sit on Boards and/or provide coaching support.
In September 2024, we secured funding from Innovate UK to start building a platform that could do matchmaking at scale and without requiring proactive engagement and outreach from users. A form of networking based on intention, needs, and relevance.

Q2 2025, launch time.
