1 in 3 entrepreneurs are dyslexic. And they contribute at least £4.6bn to UK GDP every single year. Just let that sink in for a minute. To showcase the power of dyslexic entrepreneurs, Virgin StartUp has teamed up with Made By Dyslexia and Virgin Unite on a nationwide campaign across 46 towns and cities. But they didn’t stop there. Virgin StartUp has also launched Momentum - a first-of-its-kind business accelerator to help dyslexic founders unlock their full potential. Here’s everything you need to know about the accelerator: https://lnkd.in/g5QqPsZ3 And explore Made By Dyslexia’s new Entrepreneurs Spotlight report: https://lnkd.in/e27yEmf2 When we empower Dyslexic Thinking, we fuel innovation.

Who said work shouldn't be a (certified) good time... Huge congratulations to Virgin Megastores in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman for becoming a certified Great Place to Work. From the shop floors to HQ, they’ve built a culture that encourages creativity, energy, and Virgin spirit. A company where work feels less like, well, work, and more like being part of something bigger. Keep the good times rolling. Virgin Megastore MENA
