Samantha founded for the FOUNDERS, a membership community for entrepreneurs and founders across Bristol and Bath -- "for the BRAVE. for the BOLD. for the CURIOUS." Members get monthly meet-ups, curated introductions, workshops, a Growth Accountability Circle, and access to an 11-strong network of specialist experts across coaching, PR, sales and finance.
She also created the FOUNDERS Playground, an annual one-day festival in Bristol & Bath, launching 14 May 2026 with a capacity of up to 3,000 and backing from names including Simon Squibb, Mulberry founder Roger Saul, and Tyrrells Crisps founder William Chase. On launching it, she said: "I wanted to create something that founders would never normally have access to; real conversations with people who can open doors."
