Made by dyslexia, Virgin start up
New research from Made By Dyslexia reveals that dyslexic entrepreneurs contribute at least £4.6 billion annually to the UK economy and support over 60,000 jobs, with one in three business founders being dyslexic Virgin.com+1. In response, Made By Dyslexia, Virgin StartUp, and Virgin Unite have launched a nationwide campaign across 46 UK locations celebrating “Dyslexic Thinking”—the creative, problem-solving, big-picture mindset behind innovations like the car, lightbulb, and smartphone, as well as iconic brands such as Apple, IKEA, Jo Malone, and Virgin itself Virgin.comStartups Magazine. To further support the community, Virgin StartUp has introduced Momentum, the UK’s first free eight-week business accelerator tailored specifically for dyslexic founders, offering workshops, one-to-one mentoring, digital resources, and a dedicated “Dyslexic Thinking” online hub.
