Dear Sanchia,
We’ve always believed that success isn’t just about passion or hustle—it’s about equipped action.
That’s why I’m so proud to share an exclusive opportunity that could change the course of your entrepreneurial journey.
Together with the Black British Initiative (BBI), I’m inviting YOU to apply for MBA 30—a powerful, accredited Mini MBA designed to give emerging Black entrepreneurs access to world-class business education, high-level exposure, and a chance to pitch for seed to series A funding of £250k to £1.5 million in investment.
And yes—you don’t need a degree or formal education to apply. What you do need? Passion, purpose, and potential.
What You Get:
✅ A 10% discount for the Self Made community to join MBA 30, an executive education programme from SOAS, one of the UK’s most prestigious universities.
✅ A hybrid format: just 9 days over 4 weeks (3 in person, 6 half days online). Discover MBA 30
✅ Eligibility to apply for the MBA 30 Emerging Entrepreneur Awards 2025—where 12 finalists will be featured in The Metro, read by over 5 million people daily, with 50 million pages views per month
✅ Four winners (one from each sector: Beauty & Wellbeing, Fashion, Art & Creativity, Technology) will pitch directly to DMG Ventures’ CEO for a chance to receive between £250,000 and £1.5M in seed funding.
As a judge on this year’s awards, I’m personally invested in ensuring that powerful, high-calibre talent steps into the spotlight.
Why MBA 30 Matters:
Too many Black founders don’t have access to inherited networks, insider knowledge or legacy resources. MBA 30 exists to change that.
It’s your chance to learn the core principles that build scalable, sustainable, and investable businesses—without the £100,000+ price tag of a full MBA.
