Meet the founders joining the latest Momentum 26' cohort

Back to News

What happens when you bring together a group of founders who see the world a little differently?

We're about to find out.

The latest Momentum cohort is officially underway, bringing together dyslexic and neurodiverse founders from across the UK for a programme designed around how they think, learn and build businesses.

Created in partnership with Made By Dyslexia and Virgin Unite, Momentum exists for founders who see opportunities where others see obstacles. The founders who ask "why not?" and then get on with making it happen.

Research shows that 1 in 3 entrepreneurs are dyslexic, yet many traditional startup programmes still aren't designed for the way these founders think and work. Momentum was created to help change that.

Over the coming months, founders will gain practical tools, expert support and a community of people who understand that different thinking can be a serious business advantage.

From AI and software to adventure, health, retail and creative businesses, this year's cohort brings together founders with bold ideas, fresh perspectives and plenty of entrepreneurial grit.

We're excited to see what they go on to build.
