LOS ANGELES, CA — Urban Ingenuity℠ proudly announces the launch of Founders Forum, an immersive mastermind and leadership experience designed for emerging entrepreneurs, nonprofit founders, and community change agents who are building businesses—and movements—grounded in purpose, vision, and impact. Created and led by transformational strategist and social impact leader Kim Anthony, Founders Forum goes beyond traditional business workshops. It is an experiential space where ideas are ignited, leadership is activated, and founders are seen, supported, and celebrated. “Founders Forum is for the doers, the dreamers, and the builders,” says Anthony. “It’s for people who are creating something out of nothing—not just for profit, but for purpose. This isn’t a seminar. This is a soul-centered, strategy-driven space to grow.” The inaugural Founders Forum will feature: Experiential learning sessions rooted in personal development and high-performance habits Breakthrough business strategies for launching, sustaining, and scaling purpose-driven enterprises Live coaching and mastermind circles to foster peer-to-peer learning and collaboration Signature ceremonies and visibility moments to honor the courage it takes to build from the ground up Founders Forum is especially designed for those who often feel overlooked in traditional entrepreneurial spaces—visionaries from underserved communities, late bloomers, women founders, and first-generation builders looking for guidance, grit, and growth.
