From Vision to Venture

Journey Img

FFG champions ambitious founders, especially those from under-represented and marginalised communities who are too often excluded from mainstream investment pathways.

We know the challenge isn’t talent or drive, it’s access. Access to capital, networks, knowledge and rooms where opportunity lives.

Our investment activity is driven primarily through our Captable Competition, which is a platform designed to give exceptional entrepreneurs the chance to secure funding, strategic guidance, and meaningful exposure.

Alongside capital, we provide founders with insight, support, and introductions that accelerate growth and turn early-stage ambition into long-term success.

Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. We exist to close that gap. When vision is backed with belief, resources, and real access, potential becomes momentum and momentum builds businesses, careers, and confidence that uplift communities and reshape what’s possible.

CapTable

Our Annual Captable Competition

Service Img

In partnership with Corten Capital, Battery Ventures and HSBC Innovation Banking, our annual CapTable competition gives entrepreneurs the chance to secure investment, expert guidance, and valuable connections to help grow and scale their businesses.

Since launch, the competition has awarded over £100,000 to ambitious founders, creating a launchpad for businesses that are ready to take their next big step.

The competition is designed to open doors for underrepresented and underserved entrepreneurs, providing not just access to capital but also exposure to investors and business leaders who can help accelerate growth.

Each year, finalists showcase their businesses, gain visibility through our platform, and have the chance to win direct investment alongside strategic support from our partners.
