Diversity X Wales Chapter Launch
Diversity X
We are here for underestimated founders®.
Ones that feel overlooked.
Underrated.
Passed over.
Counted out.
We’re a community first. And we’re also an angel syndicate - ready to believe in you at the start of your journey. It’s a community built on the knowledge and expertise of those who’ve built. Scaled. Failed. Triumphed. And learned.
So if you’re a founder who is:
A person of colour.
Female.
Over 50.
Neurodiverse.
LGBTQIA+
Living with a physical or mental disability
From a socio-economically disadvantaged background.
We are your people - welcome home!
And yes – it’s free to join us.
At Diversity X, you’ll get honest advice, practical support and shared experiences - from people who’ve felt underestimated too. Who bear the scars. And have thrived anyway.
It’s about opening doors. Making introductions. Backing those solving big problems, pushing boundaries, making meaningful impact.
If that sounds like you, come join us. We’re excited to meet you.
