Launch It

Launch It transforms lives through enterprise; they have a simple mission:

“to empower the next generation of business founders. We want young people aged 18 to 30 from underserved backgrounds to see entrepreneurship as a sustainable path towards a better future.”

A grant from the Company helped then create a vibrant hub for entrepreneurs aged 18-30 in Longton by the opening of a two-floor business incubation space connected to the Longton Victorian Market in Stoke-on-Trent. The centre now offers subsidised private studios, co-working spaces, and a comprehensive support programme. The centre is successfully engaging its target audience, having already supported 40 clients with 1-to-1 sessions and reaching over 210 individuals through external events.

Yesterday’s business workshop was an absolute game changer. The session was packed with practical insights, honest conversations and that much needed spark of motivation every entrepreneur needs. What made it even more special was connecting with the amazing entrepreneurs who also attended. - Ian Ikuesan, Young founder who attended a workshop Content Creator
