How do you know if your side hustle is the next Bumble… or the next Beeble? (Never heard of Beeble? Exactly.) If you want to know which camp you’re in, here’s the quickest way to find out: • Can you get one real person excited enough to try it? • Do you know what problem actually keeps them up at night? • Have you shown them something they can react to, even if it’s ugly? • Did you ask them to pay, and watch what they actually do? • And… did you listen hard enough to change direction if you were wrong? That’s validation. Not vibes. Not hypotheticals. Not “my friends said they’d use it.” Before you start building the next unicorn, make sure you’re not quietly raising a Beeble. Side hustles aren’t a guessing game. Validate, then build.

About us
embarc is for future founders entering The Founderverse. Right now, there is a generation of ambitious young people working across start-ups, corporations, creative industries, and side projects who know they want to build something, but do not always know where to start. The hardest part is often not ambition. It is getting started. embarc is an education platform designed to break down those barriers and help the next generation of founders find their people, their confidence, and their starting point.

Welcome home 🤗
Know someone who should be a founder (even if they don’t know it yet)? Tick the boxes: 🔲 Always pitching ideas at dinner 🔲 Has a side project they secretly take VERY seriously 🔲 Obsessed with solving problems or fixing broken systems 🔲 Plays connector in every group they’re in 🔲 Feels stuck in a job that’s way too small for them If you’ve ticked even 3 out of 5… We have a home for them. embarc by OPUS is now live and it's a specifically built for the next generation of founders. Tag them in the comments. Let’s bring them home.

embarc, the go-to community for tomorrow’s founders, is officially joining forces with OPUS. Which is incredibly exciting 🔥 When I first brought together the embarc founding team, I wanted to support the next generation of founders & innovators building some of the highest-potential companies in London and beyond. That said, when things don’t go to plan, I know firsthand just how tough the founding journey can be. Rather than just flashy success stories, embarc has always been all about the challenges. We wanted to build a crucial support system – a place to build confidence, knowledge & network – for all aspiring founders. It’s amazing to see the community has had a genuinely meaningful impact. Over the last 2–3 years, we… – Held 30+ amazing events in London & Berlin with Notion Capital, Entrepreneurs First, Antler, Zinc, Dawn Capital, Google, Snowflake, Sifted, MMC Ventures, Heartfelt, BNVC, Atlantic Labs, DFF and more – Helped a dozen start-ups get off the ground, with co-founders meeting for the first time at our events – Supported exceptional founding teams into raising buzzy seed rounds And when I opened the conversation with Sam and Ken at OPUS, it was immediately clear to me just how mission-driven they are. The team at OPUS want to build a better, more dynamic and supportive world for founders & innovators – and they won’t stop until they do. I’m thrilled about the impact we’ve had. I’m even more thrilled we’ll be taking this to the next level, together. A big thank you to the current team Ryan, Dev & Liz; our former team members Issie, Ronan, Henry, Marie-Caroline, Arjun, Olivia & Vanesa; and my co-founders, Daniel & Matt – who built embarc from the ground up. And to our most vocal champion, Chris – we couldn’t have done it without you 💚 I’ll be continuing to build embarc part-time with the OPUS family – more incredible events to come. Watch this space!
