About the programme

In light of the current climate of uncertainty and greater disparity, WeWork is more committed than ever to working towards a fairer future. By collaborating with Foundervine, we aim to help break down the racial and economic barriers that ethnically diverse founders across the UK and Ireland continue to face, and actively open our doors so entrepreneurs – regardless of their background – have access to opportunities needed to succeed.

Together, we are excited to launch our Diverse Founders Programme that will provide workspace and virtual support with 100 annual hot desks* and community WeWork Labs memberships. The programme will run for a duration of 12 months commencing in January 2021. Please visit the website to find out more and how to apply.
