This week we ran a Zoom session which attracted almost 100 participants, providing the chance to show that meeting an assessor doesn't have to be as scary as Halloween.
The session was focused on our recent document, "An Interview with the Assessor" where we highlighted the six main reasons for failure for applicants for the Innovator Founder Visa route.

The session raised a series of questions that we were unable to answer within the timeframe, so director Richard Harrison took some time to record an extra video after the session to answer each question. The extra video has been provided at the end of the event video, and transcribed in the article below:

What actually is Halloween and why are we so frightfully into it?
Ever wondered how we Brits became obsessed with carving vegetables and politely demanding sweets from neighbours every 31st October?
Halloween's roots stretch back over 2,000 years to the Celtic festival of Samhain, when our ancestors believed the boundary between the living and dead became blurred. Fast forward through a Christian rebrand, and we've arrived at today's delightful mishmash of ancient tradition, American influence, and British awkwardness.

The Revolutionary Sweatshirt Replacing Traditional Baby Slings

Mary Zamani saw what so many of us miss: the impossible juggling act new mothers face every single day. How do you clean, exercise, or simply live your life when you have a newborn who needs constant attention?
Her solution? A stylish baby-carrying sweatshirt that's set to replace the traditional baby sling—safer, more practical, and infinitely easier to use. No more wrestling with heavy fabric or worrying about complicated knots. Just slip it on and go.
But Mary's journey to creating First Kid London didn't start with motherhood. It started with a late-night FaceTime call from a factory floor, a brother's encouragement, and a dream of London.
Discover how one conversation changed everything, and why London's fashion scene is about to welcome its newest innovator.
