Founded & Grounded: The podcast for the start-up community

Hello EN members! I'm Ollie, founder of Enterprise Orchard and podcaster at Founded & Grounded.   We support first-time founders to start and grow rewarding businesses, with our tailored support programmes to make you unstoppable. We provide 3 core programmes.   Why?   My passion for business came from my mum and started in rural India - where I was born in the 1980s. My mum, speaking fluent Tamil, helped start Bishopston Trading Co, who pioneered Fair Trade organic cotton clothing.   I've seen first-hand the difference business can make to people and communities.   We specialise in supporting first-time founders with great ‘non-tech’ ideas, turning them into thriving businesses. We have supported over 200 people to start and grow their businesses.   How we make you unstoppable   1. We deliver a groundbreaking peer-to-peer learning programme called The Engine Room, which supports business owners to connect, grow and collaborate in a supportive environment.
