Join us at Toxteth Library for a streamed panel event to celebrate Black History Month and entrepreneurship.

Join us at Toxteth Library for a streamed version of the British Library Business & IP Centre's Inspiring Entrepreneurs: Business Rooted in Community event to celebrate Black History Month.

About the event:

This Black History Month, we’re spotlighting the founders who don’t just build businesses, they build up entire communities.

In celebration of and honouring our communities, we’re bringing together a powerhouse of Black leaders who are reshaping tech, venture capital, entertainment and hospitality from the ground up. From launching global movements like Afro Nation to creating legendary local hubs and expanding access for underrepresented founders through Foundervine, these trailblazers prove that true success comes from uplifting the people around you.
