Having a founder community around you can make a huge difference when you’re sitting with an idea and thinking, “I know this idea could work, but what should I do next?”

You can ask the questions that have been on your mind, hear how someone else might approach it, and spot an option you hadn’t considered before.

You might also share one idea with another founder and leave with three new ways to look at it. 💚

If you want more opportunities to learn from other founders, and explore new ideas, join the BFS community for free. 🌿

Have you ever wished you had another founder to share ideas with before making your next move? ✍🏽

You can hear how they approached a similar decision.

You can ask a question that makes you rethink your next step.

You can realise that something you’ve learned could help another founder too.

Being part of a founder community means having people around you to learn from, share with and grow alongside. 💚

At Black Founders Studio, we’re creating a space where Black founders across the UK can exchange ideas, share experiences and discover new perspectives as they build.

The BFS community is 101% free to join, and you can be part of it at any stage of your business.

If you want other founders around you as you keep learning, building and growing, join the BFS community today. 🌿

“If you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.” — Toni Morrison

One of the biggest ways we can make an impact is by helping someone else move forward with what we already know, have or have access to.

It can be as simple as sharing a lesson they’ve learned, or recommending someone’s business when they’re not in the room.

Strong communities grow when our own progress creates more opportunities for the people around us.

Jemima Antwi joined Wayne Bennett and Speaker | Business Consultant | Business Strategist on the founders’ panel at NatWest’s Black History Month celebration in Manchester, hosted by Junior Beaman.

This year’s theme, “Honouring Our Community”, created space to celebrate the stories and contributions of Black communities, while also talking about how we keep creating opportunities for the people coming next.

During the panel, Jemima shared part of her own founder journey.

She spoke about building her first business alone, what she learned when it didn’t work out, and how hearing similar stories from other Black founders became part of the reason Black Founders Studio exists today.

Because one thing has stayed at the heart of BFS from the beginning: You don’t have to build alone. 💚

Thank you to NatWest Business for creating the space for an important message! 🙌🏾

Seeing someone who looks like you in a senior role or building a successful business can change the way you see what is possible. 💚

This shows why representation is very important.

Seeing Black people leading businesses, sitting in senior roles and building successful companies can have such a powerful impact on the people coming behind them.

It can also mean sharing what you have learned.

Giving someone advice you wish you had earlier.

Creating an opportunity for someone coming behind you.

That is what “leaving the ladder down” means to us, you climb, but you also remember to reach back.

In this Reel, Jemima shares why it’s so important for Black founders to see people who look like them in senior positions and successful businesses, and how we can leave the ladder down for the next generation.

What does leaving the ladder down look like to you? 👇🏾

Have you ever had a business decision sitting in your head all morning? 😅

You’ve already watched the videos.
You’ve read the advice.
You probably even have a few tabs open about it.

There are times, what helps most is being able to say to another founder: “Can I run something by you?”

Maybe you’re thinking about changing your pricing.
Maybe you’re trying to make your offer clearer.
Maybe you have an idea you’re excited about and just want another perspective before you try it.

Talking to someone who is building too can help you hear a different point of view, learn from what they’ve tried, and work through something you’ve been thinking about for days.

Next time, you might be the founder sharing the experience that helps someone else. 💚

A good founder community gives you people to network with, and people to think with. 💡

People you can ask, “What’s your opinion on this?”

Anita Asante, Founder of Adwo Makeup, described her experience with Black Founders Studio beautifully, “Black Founders has been more than a community. It has been a space that champions bold ideas, meaningful connections and the confidence to build with purpose.”

Every founder has their own way of building. 😅

Some of us need 30 tabs open before the idea makes sense.

Some need a spreadsheet.

Some need to talk it out in a voice note.

Whilst some need to see the brand come to life before anything feels real.

None of those ways are better than the others.

They’re just different ways of thinking, learning and moving ideas forward.

At Black Founders Studio, that mix is part of what makes founder community valuable.

Different strengths.

Different perspectives.

Different ways of solving problems.

And plenty to learn from each other. 💚

So, which one are you?

30-tabs-open, spreadsheet, voice-note or creative founder?

Building your business gets even more exciting when you’re surrounded by other founders. ✨

Founders who have perspectives that’ll help with your business.

Founders whose experiences you can relate to.

Founders who open up new possibilities.

Black Founders can bring those conversations, connections and opportunities into one community so founders can keep learning, building and growing together.
