With access to capital still one of the biggest hurdles for startups, CO4CH has announced the launch of Finance 4 Founders (F4F), an upcoming community designed to help ambitious founders navigate fundraising, strengthen their financial strategy and scale their businesses.


Set to launch in 2026, F4F aims to tackle one of the startup ecosystem’s most persistent challenges: limited access to capital and influential networks.

By combining practical resources, mentorship, and peer support, the community promises to equip founders with the tools and confidence they need to scale their businesses – regardless of connections or location.

“Founders tell us their biggest challenge isn’t coming up with ideas; it’s their lack of access to capital and the right network that holds them back.” said founder and CEO Beth Crosier.

“Access to both these things shouldn’t depend on who you know or where you’rebased. Our community gives founders the confidence and guidance to navigate fundraising successfully, so that everything else can start to move.

F4F will offer founding members free access to its signature Fund programme alongside a library of resources, ready-to-use templates, money masterclasses, and expert and peer support from people who’ve been in their shoes. This combination of practical guidance and community insight is designed to fast-track founders from launch to scaleup, overcoming the funding gap.

“Our waitlist is growing fast, and it’s amazing to see so much interest already. We built this to make the financial world feel more accessible and affordable for founders. Everyone on the waitlist will get a VIP sneak peek before we go live and we honestly can’t wait to show them what we’ve been working on,” said Crosier.

The launch of this founders-first platform adds another string to CO4CH’s bow. Since its launch earlier this year, the company has been named UK B2B Startup of the Year and received the Early Standout Stage award at the GBEAs, signalling strong market validation and growing influence in the startup landscape.
