OUR MISSION We don’t think that ‘vegan’ businesses should be the ones with a label. Why should we have to point out that our companies don’t cause cruelty or harm to animals? It should be the companies that DO that have to carry a warning. To do this we need to make vegan businesses the new normal and skill-up those already running a vegan business to have a bigger impact on the business scene. We're going to do that in two ways:Work to skill-up grass-roots vegan businesses to help more become established and take spend away from non-vegan products and businesses.Help vegan businesses who are already established pass their knowledge back to help others follow in their footsteps. Do you connect with this mission? Yes No Do you have any other comments on what you think our mission should be or what you think we should be focused on? We've introduced a lot of new content and member benefits over the last year. Please tick how many of these you were aware VBT members on the paid tier have access to: A welcome 30 minute 1-2-1 with Lisa & David to talk about your business Weekly email Weekly article / interview Weekly podcast Twice a month networking meet-up Weekly business clinics ‘How to market your vegan business’ online course Monthly goals & accountability group VBT community hub & support group on Slack Online mentorship forum Event recording archive Is there anything else you would like to see as part of Vegan Business Tribe membership?

Are you aware that we also have a paid membership tier? Yes No Membership of Vegan Business Tribe is £12.99 a month. Do you think that is good value for money?
