IMPACT

To mark International Women’s Day, Odd Muse will launch the Odd Muse Founder Fund a £12,000 grant awarded to one emerging female founder to support the launch or growth of her business.

The initiative will:

• Provide £12,000 in direct funding

• Offer mentorship and strategic guidance from the Odd Muse team

• Amplify the founder’s business across Odd Muse platforms

• Champion ambitious women building with purpose

Following the IWD launch, the programme will evolve into ongoing charitable giving via Odd Muse Impact, with continued donations supporting young women in business, mental wellbeing initiatives, and future Founder Endorsements.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS HAS BEEN EXTENDED:

31ST MAY 2026

OUR FOUNDER

Founded by Aimee Smale, this initiative reflects the reality behind building Odd Muse: resilience, risk-taking, and self-belief in moments of uncertainty. The endorsement exists to back women at the stage where belief and financial support matter most.
