People helping people.

DreamBrew and ClimbUK share one belief: people helping people changes what a business can do. This long-term partnership brings our two communities together, starting in Gateshead.

Coffee that funds dreams

DreamBrew was founded by Aimee and Simon Squibb, with investment from Rio Ferdinand. A share of its profits backs founders through the Dream Fund.

A community that helps you grow

ClimbUK brings together founders, investors, advisers and fellow founders who are one step ahead, and who send each other work all year round.

The first conversations of the day

Start the day with the people you came to find, before the sessions begin. Your best follow-up may start over a coffee.
