Are You a Founder Doing Something Worth Talking About? Join Us on the Bench

Legacy Bench is looking for founders and entrepreneurs with real businesses, real experiences and something valuable to bring to the conversation.

On 20 October and 27 October 2026, we'll be recording new Legacy Bench conversations from our Manchester studio.

These are our standard Legacy Bench recordings — conversations with founders about what they're building, how they got there, the decisions they've made, the challenges behind the progress and what they've learned along the way. They are not Pitch'd or Ditch'd sessions: there's no pitch and no investment panel.

We're particularly interested in hearing from founders who are doing well, growing something interesting, disrupting their industry, overcoming significant challenges or simply have a business story that other entrepreneurs could learn from.

You don't need to arrive with a perfect success story.

We want genuine experiences, strong opinions, lessons, mistakes, difficult decisions and the reality behind building a business.

If that sounds like you, we'd like to hear from you.
