Driving Our
Mission Forward
At Launch It, we believe every young person with ambition deserves the opportunity to build something meaningful.
As a youth enterprise charity, our mission is to empower young founders with the tools, mentorship and support they need to start and grow successful businesses.
​
A key part of that mission is the incredible support we receive from our Launch It Ambassadors. These respected entrepreneurs, investors and industry leaders champion our work, share their experience with young founders, and help raise awareness of the importance of youth entrepreneurship.
​
Their guidance, advocacy and belief in the next generation help turn ideas into thriving businesses.
Meet Our Ambassadors
Young entrepreneurs often have talent, creativity, and determination but what they sometimes lack is access. Access to experienced mentors, networks & important knowledge.
​
Launch It Ambassadors help bridge that gap. Meet two of the ambassadors fuelling our work.

"I got involved with Launch It because I’m passionate about helping shape and support young people on their entrepreneurial journey.
Starting and building something of your own can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s also a challenging and often lonely path. Through my own experiences as a founder, the lessons learned, the setbacks and the progress, I felt I could offer practical insight and encouragement to those at the beginning of that journey. If sharing what I’ve learned can help make that path a little clearer or a little less isolating, then it’s time well spent.”
