I’m Alex Cunliffe; a co-founder and Managing Director of Inkthreadable 👋

Having started my business a decade ago at 17 years old, I’ve experienced the unique challenges of starting in business young and needing to learn extremely fast first hand.

I’m passionate about helping motivated young entrepreneurs become more confident, better leaders and highly successful in growing their business.

If you’re a Young Entrepreneur looking for a kick start into the next stage of your business journey, I’m providing free mentorship to 1 - 3 entrepreneurs in 2023 that:

• Are between 16-24 years old
• Are based in the UK with a UK registered company.
• have current revenues of ~£250,000 - £500,000.
• want to actively scale their businesses fast but sustainably.

Areas of which I'll support you

• Understanding and measuring your company finances and metrics
• Making your first key hires and learning how to effectively lead a team
• Outlining your personal and business vision
• Building low-cost and efficient operational processes and monitoring
• Creating a diverse and strategic sales and marketing plan
• Using data to make better decisions
• And so much more tailored to your specific needs.

Why am I doing this and why for free?
I’ve enjoyed every moment of building my business over the last 10 years; from being 16 years old printing t-shirts in the back room of my parent’s house, to today where we help thousands of small businesses every month start and scale their brands online.

Being 10 years in feels like a turning point for me professionally.
I understand my business more than I ever have before and am dedicated on achieving some really aspirational goals over the years to come, but there’s a passion in me dedicated to helping Young Entrepreneurs find their feet and navigate their way on this exceptionally exciting path they’re embarking on.

I struggled to find mentorship outside of people close to me, and want to open that door for a few people this year ☺️

Application is an important process to ensure that we’re a great fit in working together and for me to assess that I can confidently support you and your business over the next 12 months.
