Built for the people most providers overlook.
We exist to give capable people the structured path to enterprise that traditional business education fails to provide.
Samuel Iremiren
Samuel is a business builder with over a decade of experience helping aspiring founders across three continents get from idea to operating business. He holds an MBA and an MSc in Economics — credentials that inform how he works, not what he sells.
Before founding Mind and Method Academy, Samuel built and scaled a property company managing social housing rentals to over £15,000 in monthly revenue. He has coached hundreds of people through the earliest and most difficult stages of starting a business, and has delivered workshops in universities, schools, community centres, and prisons.
What sets Samuel apart is who he chooses to work with. His focus is on people at the very beginning — those who want to start but keep stalling. He understands this audience because he has spent years in the room with them, listening to what actually holds them back: the fear of losing money, the fear of looking foolish, the gap between consuming information and applying it.
The business implementation market has a blind spot.
At one end of the market, there are expensive MBA programmes and selective accelerators built for people who already have capital, connections, and confidence. At the other, there is an ocean of free content — YouTube videos, podcasts, social media advice — that gives people the feeling of progress without producing any results.
In between are millions of people who keep stalling. They have the ability and the ambition, but they lack a clear, affordable, and accountable path from where they are to where they want to be. They invest in short bursts — a course, an event, a book — then return to their routines.
Mind and Method Academy was built to close that gap. We are not another education provider. We are the partner that sits beside you and builds it with you — from the first decision to the first paying client.
Building is the method. Everything else supports it.
We identified seven things that stop first-time founders from getting a business off the ground. Every programme is designed to remove each one through doing.
Practical, Not Theoretical
Every session ends with a completed deliverable — a validated offer, a sales script, a marketing plan. Participants leave with assets they use immediately, not notes they file away.
Accountable, Not Passive
Daily commitments, tracked metrics, live sessions, and direct feedback. We create the conditions that make progress unavoidable — even for people with limited time and competing priorities.
Accessible, Not Exclusive
Our programmes are priced and structured for the people who need them most. We partner with universities, councils, charities, and community organisations to reach people who would never walk through the door of a traditional business school.
Two free ways to start.
If you are an individual exploring whether to start a business, our free tools are the best place to begin.
