Meet nine entrepreneurs who will inspire you to start a business in 2025

StartUp Show 2025 is a not-to-be-missed event to help turn your idea into reality.

Here is a list of leading change brand founders speaking at StartUp Show 2025 on 25 January.

In a world where sustainability is more crucial than ever, a new wave of entrepreneurs is rising to meet the challenge. 

At this year's StartUp Show, we’re shining a spotlight on the visionary leaders who are not only transforming industries but also making a significant impact on the planet.

Mark Rushmore and Gyve Safavi, co-founders of 

Mark and Gyve, former advertising professionals, have made waves in the dental care industry with SURI, a brand that’s turning heads with its recyclable electric toothbrush.

 Frustrated by the waste generated by traditional dental products, they set out to create a solution that’s both effective and sustainable. 

Despite facing numerous challenges, their determination paid off, with SURI achieving £3 million in revenue in its first year and securing shelf space in major retailers. Their story is a testament to the power of perseverance and innovation in creating a greener future.

Ocean Bottle is more than just a product, it’s a movement. Co-founder, Will Pearson, has set his sights on tackling one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues: ocean plastic. 

Each Ocean Bottle sold funds the collection of 11.4kg of ocean-bound plastic, equivalent to over 1,000 plastic bottles. With a sleek design and a compelling mission, Ocean Bottle is not only reducing waste but also engaging consumers in a broader conversation about sustainability.

Susan Allen is challenging the status quo with Here We Flo, a brand that offers eco-friendly personal care products. 

From biodegradable tampons to bamboo pads, Here We Flo is addressing environmental concerns while breaking down societal taboos around menstruation and personal care. By prioritising transparency, inclusivity and sustainability, Susan is redefining what it means to be a socially conscious brand.

In the UK, food waste is a significant issue, and Deepak Ravindran is on a mission to change that with Oddbox. 

As the co-founder of the country’s first sustainable fruit and veg box delivery service, Deepak has helped rescue over 40,000 tonnes of fresh produce that would have otherwise gone to waste. Oddbox not only supports farmers but also offers consumers a way to make more sustainable choices. With revenues surpassing £32 million, Deepak’s story is a powerful example of how addressing environmental challenges can lead to business success.

Meet the changemakers at StartUp Show 2025

My involvement with the development of women began in 1994 when I was appointed as Programme Director for women’s courses in the Inland Revenue. Over the next 11 years I designed and facilitated a residential training course and became licensed and ran around 50 Springboard Women’s Development programmes throughout the UK.

Since becoming self-employed in 2005 my interest in women’s development has continued and I have worked with women who have not been economically active for some time, those who want to start their own businesses and those who want to raise their profile in the public sector.&nbsp;
