Two Nottingham women aim to radically shift the way the UK supports female founders and are relaunching their business in line with this mission.
Sarah King and Claire Dunn co-founded Work.by Design with the aim of helping 6,000 women set up and run their own businesses by 2025, via a unique package of e-learning programmes and an active online community space.
The goal behind the company remains the same, but it is relaunching as ‘we are radikl’ to reflect the radical women in the community and their desire to radically change the way female founders are supported as they build their businesses.
Sarah said the change comes after months of testing their proposition, listening to the women they work with and wider research with investors, banks and partners.
“Over 60% of women cite confidence as their biggest challenge when setting up and building their businesses and we know that confidence impacts self-belief, behaviours and actions. We wanted to design a proposition that recognises this – and uniquely offers a solution that is flexible, accessible and impactful”.
The service offered by ‘we are radikl’ is evolving to become more flexible for users with bite sized, bespoke e-learning courses provided on a dedicated eLearning platform.
The active online community will also have access to an hour-long weekly business Q&A, monthly expert webinars and hot seat opportunities, allowing members to share their knowledge, experience and insights to help fuel their businesses.
Claire said: “The core values of our business have always been radical know-how, kindness, connection and inspiration and these still form the backbone of what we offer”.
