Changing the world one founder at a time

A new series shines a spotlight on 25 of the UK’s most innovative entrepreneurs and their ground-breaking businesses that are revolutionising the way we live. An entrepreneur who invented 3D printed personalised gummy vitamins tailored to people’s nutritional needs, lifestyles and goals is just one of the highlights of a new documentary featuring weird and wonderful ideas that will change the world.

The four-part series, 'Founders Changing the World' launches on 3rd September 2021. It showcases the trials and tribulations of setting up such innovative businesses and gives viewers the inside story on what makes these remarkable people tick.

Melissa Snover, Founder of Nourished, is convinced her vitamin stacks can transform the nutrition industry by catering to the growing demand for personalised nutrition solutions which are high quality, convenient and not harmful to the planet.

Meanwhile, Tess Cosad, Founder of Béa Fertility, is determined her at-home, clinical-standard fertility treatment will revolutionise the way women access fertility care.

Taking a stance, Danny Gray, Founder of War Paint for Men, wants to mainstream men's make-up and overhaul the stigma attached to make-up for men.

All 25 founders who feature in the documentary series are members of The Founding Network, a community of entrepreneurs who come together to scale their businesses. The show will explore the mindsets, ambitions, realities and successes of these business leaders across four sectors, including healthcare, on-demand, entertainment  and transportation.

James Sutcliffe, Founder and CEO of The Founding Network, who will host the show, said: ”This series has come about by having personal conversations with many founders in our community and seeing first-hand the unsung heroes of innovation that are out there.

"We wanted to support entrepreneurs who are transforming the world by giving them a platform so they can reach their full potential, share their ambitions and realities to a global audience, as well as inspire the next-gen of entrepreneurs.”

The series will bring the founders’ stories to life through facility tours, in-depth interviews and industry experts’ opinions and views. The episodes will uncover insights into exciting new technologies and reveal what motivates the founders through interviews  with their friends, families, investors and colleagues.

The trailer can be found here, and the series will launch on The Founding Network’s dedicated documentary page on 3rd September, 2021.
