The Future Farm is a global organisation and community dedicated to healthier entrepreneurship.
At The Future Farm, we see entrepreneurs and leaders as a driving force for positive change in society and around the world. However, we know the personal costs of this life are often very high. The image of an entrepreneur has been glorified by the media and the vulnerability and openness about an entrepreneur’s struggles discouraged. We strongly believe in a different vision for entrepreneurship - a healthier, more balanced and resilient vision.
With mental, emotional and psychological health and wellbeing of entrepreneurs and leaders at its core, The Future Farm is focused on moving from fixing the problem to prevention. It is a place for entrepreneurs and leaders to talk about their raw stories, improve resilience and help others within the entrepreneurial ecosystem, to change the society at large for the better.
The Future Farm operates globally and was founded in London in 2019.
