Get funding to start or grow your business

Hello EN members! I'm Ollie, founder of Enterprise Orchard and podcaster at Founded & Grounded. We support first-time founders to start and grow rewarding businesses, with our tailored support programmes to make you unstoppable.  Why? My passion for business came from my mum and started in rural India - where I was born in the 1980s. My mum, speaking fluent Tamil, helped start Bishopston Trading Co, who pioneered Fair Trade organic cotton clothing. I've seen first-hand the difference business can make to people and communities. We specialise in supporting first-time founders with great ‘non-tech’ ideas, turning them into thriving businesses. We have supported over 200 people to start and grow their businesses.
