StartUp Disruptors

StartUp Disruptors – Creating The Businesses Of Tomorrow

The business landscape is changing and our support offer has responded to this market shift.

We provide networking, business support, coaching, FREE PR and social media exposure for your business, vetted suppliers, signposting to FREE stuff, 24/7/365 access to our support online – all for just £19.99 a month.

No catch, no long term contracts to make you feel uncomfortable or ‘rip you off’.

It’s not too good to be true, we just got fed up of people being taken advantage of in business when we started out – we know and share the pain and isolation of your often difficult small business journey.

We are the heroes in capes!

So who started the disruption?

Becky Lodge and Laura Kenward are the co-founders. Successful and driven female entrepreneurs.

Starting their own businesses in 2015, they were horrified to find that lots of small business owners were being ‘ripped off’ by unscrupulous suppliers – so decided to do something about it.

With over 1,200 members online across the UK, we support and signpost start-ups to resources with key stakeholders. We have such reach that we are now signposted as the ‘go to’ support service for universities and councils in the local area.

We do what’s right, not what’s popular and we are a growing tribe.

Our monthly meet-ups and face to face networking are held in:

Portsmouth, Southampton and Chichester.

If you are an SME or corporate company and you wish to support and sponsor us, then we have options from just £167 per month* get in touch with us today. Within 5 years we will have 10,000 plus small business members.

Don’t miss out.
