![]() Heal Earth Launches Fundraising Campaign on ThatRoundBy: Heal Earth Founded by Anum Farooq, an award-winning autistic female entrepreneur, Heal Earth is partnering with the fundraising marketplace ThatRound to secure capital in an accessible, highly supportive, and transparent way. The Challenge of Early-Stage Funding Securing early-stage funding is notoriously difficult. Data from Bath University reveals that 60% of UK startups fail within their first three years, with a lack of access to funding cited as a leading cause. For disabled and neurodivergent founders, these barriers are even more severe. Research from the Access2Funding report reveals that disabled founders are up to 400 times less likely to receive venture capital funding compared to their non-disabled peers. The traditional fundraising landscape is often fragmented, heavily reliant on exclusive social networks, and structured around rigid application processes that unintentionally exclude diverse cognitive profiles. A New Standard for Fundraising: ThatRound is on a mission to revolutionise the fundraising process by making access to capital straightforward and fair. Founder Bradley Jones experienced the profound frustrations of raising capital firsthand. Drawing inspiration from aggregator platforms like Kayak, Rightmove, and Tripadvisor, he built ThatRound to centralise the scattered funding ecosystem. The platform's goal is to create a transparent, interconnected marketplace where founders can easily find and compare with over 300 angel networks, syndicates, and early-stage VC funds. Easy-to-Use Interface and Thorough Support ThatRound is designed with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface that supports founders every step of the way:
What makes ThatRound exceptionally accommodating for neurodivergent founders is its perfect blend of artificial intelligence and human empathy:
By utilizing ThatRound, Heal Earth demonstrates how inclusive financial structures can empower high-impact enterprises, proving that when the right support is in place, diverse innovators can focus on what matters most: building a regenerative, equitable world. End
