Startup Growth is hard And that sucks!
Navigating any business can be challenging at times. We know there are all kinds of challenges for emerging or first-time founders and creators to build a business, a side hustle or a startup that aligned with their purpose.
As a migrant/refugee, these factors are amplified by cultural challenges like language, visa constraints, lack of local experience or business experience, and unemployment/underemployment making it even harder. Diving deeper, we find its:
- Uncommon to find quality affordable business advice for first-time founders or creatives
- An overwhelming amount of info and miss-info out there
- Uncommon to build momentum alone
- Difficult to find ongoing culturally accessible advice
- Hard to find a community that deeply understand People of Colour
Most fail
9 in 10 startups fail in the first 10 years. While 20% of businesses fail in their 1st year, 30% of business fail in their 2nd year, and 50% of businesses fail after five years in business.
42% No market need
29% Ran out of cash
23% Not the right team
19% Get out competed
18% Price/Costing issues
17% Poor offers & business model

Yes you can. We build bridges not walls.
Although, we prioritise 1st generation migrants and refugees. We support everyone if we have capacity.
Reading blogs and watching courses fall into the passive learning category. You are consuming the knowledge, but most of the time that new info just sits in your brain and is then forgotten.
By speaking things through with someone else, it reinforces the topic and you are way more likely to follow through and actually implement it after a conversation.
Problem solving out-loud FTW!
PLUS! Every case is individual and deserves personalized advice.
