Social Supermarket - Expert Impact

Jamie Palmer,

Social Supermarket

Met with Zia Yusuf

Social Supermarket was created to connect every-day consumers with social enterprises who sell high quality products that tackle important social and environmental challenges.

From handbags made from decommissioned fire hoses, soap made by people with visual impairments or relishes made with wonky fruit and veg, there’s something for everyone.

We are on a journey to become the most comprehensive marketplace for social enterprise products in the UK. To be the first place that people look for products that change the world for the better.

Read more about what happened when Jamie met Zia for mentoring here.

Zia provided fantastic insight into designing a product that delights and inspires, building start-up advisory teams and when to raise your next round of investment.
