Building Brands & Investing in People
It's what we do
It's Pretty Simple
Our team is built up of some private investors with a portfolio exceeding £50m, strategic thinkers and seasoned business coaches from a diversified background. How we work with new projects is pretty simple, and to be honest it really comes down to one thing, does our team get on with the idea/brand creator.
It starts with a chat
It all starts with a chat, whether we've bumped into you at a networking conference or simply found your product online. We have a chat to find out more about you, your idea or your product.
Sign partnership
We spend some time getting to know each other, our team meets you and anyone in your team. We essentially figure out if we're all going to work well together. If we proceed, then a partnership agreement is signed.
We give you tools
Once we know what we're doing, we use our team and all their tools to build, sculpt and plan how we're going to grow the project. From online marketing to software platforms and product manufacturing, we help with it all.
We incubate
Next step is the incubating stage, where we start helping you work on all aspects of the project. From looking for more funding, to launching websites and creating brand awerness.
We support growth
Once the project is growing we then move onto the growth stage, we help with HR, compliance, growing your team, growing sales, developing new products/services, strengthening the foundations of the business to ensure its future success and more.
Why not do it on your own? Many can, but many simply don't have the knowledge or team. They do however have a great idea! How long have you had a great idea you haven't done anything with yet?
Want our help launching something?
We're actually invite-only, so we only work with new brands or entrepreneurs who have been introduced to us. It means we don't get hammered by many different ideas, but mainly so we know who we're working with.
There are many people in the world, and after working, consulting or supporting various startups, we've come to realize we only want to work with like-minded people.
If you do have an idea and still want to chat, then email us at:

Please don't send detailed ideas, high-level information is fine but don't provide anything which could fall under IP laws. This all comes once an NDA is in place. We may not respond, this doesn't mean we don't like your idea, it may just not be for us.

Something we know we can grow
Entrepreneurs who have time to put into it
Products we love
We’re failing to do as much as we want for charity, but we’re trying!
We are committed to making a positive impact in the world. Here are our current initiatives aimed at supporting various causes.
Space Reach
Our inaugural venture into charitable work is Space Reach, designed to provide children and families worldwide a free opportunity to send heartfelt messages into space. We aimed to partner with major children's charities that assist terminally ill children. Despite our enthusiasm for this initiative, we encountered significant obstacles. Read more about Space Reach and our aspirations.
Soft Step - Trees
Committed to nurturing our planet, our goal with Soft Step Trees is to grow and plant trees. With deep agricultural roots in the Midlands, we believed we could easily cultivate saplings in greenhouses on our farmland, subsequently transplanting them into forests throughout the UK. We approached key forestry charities and organizations, offering to plant trees free of charge while seeking advice on tree types and land access. Despite facing bureaucratic challenges, we remain dedicated to contributing to global tree-planting targets. Read more about our tree planting initiatives.
Soft Step - Bees
Our latest endeavor, Soft Step Bees, focuses on bee conservation—an issue that deserves our collective attention. This project is easier to implement since it doesn't require collaboration with large charities. We are creating an educational hub to inform individuals about how they can help, and we’re also importing test hives for home gardens. Click here to explore our bee conservation efforts.
