What We Do
Capital - We back founders and entrepreneurs who deserve investment but don't always have access to it. Through our CapTable Competition in partnership with Corten Capital, Battery and HSBC Innovation Bank, we provide funding, mentorship, and the strategic connections that help businesses grow.
Community - We show up where it matters. From our ACLT charity gala to Christmas food parcels, school uniform drives, and partnerships with Goals 4 Girls and Mentivity - our community work is hands-on, intentional, and built to last.
Connection - We believe the right introduction can change everything. Connect is our application-only membership community, where we bring together ambitious professionals and founders who are serious about growing, collaborating, and moving forward with purpose.
Our Leadership
Led by Co-CEOs Ann-Marie Hackett and Davina Forbes-Williamson, Forbes Family Group moves with purpose and at pace.
Founded by Dean and Danielle Forbes, our roots are in lived experience in knowing what it means to face barriers and in being determined to remove them for others.
Our Founder, Dean Forbes, was ranked No.1 on the JP Morgan Powerlist 2025 as the UK's most influential Black person.
We don't just talk about what's possible.
We build it.
Connect is a curated community built around a membership platform designed to elevate how ambitious people learn, grow, and connect.
