Each month, RISE handpicks and curates the best specialty coffee from the UK’s top artisanal roasters, delivering it freshly roasted and direct to your door. Every box is filled with more than just incredible coffee - it includes the stories behind the beans, tasting notes and brewing tips, to help you get the most out of your brew.
RISE are proud to be B Corp certified and the only coffee discovery club in the UK with this accreditation. As a purpose-led business, RISE gives back 1% of every sale through its Friendly Coffee Fund™, supporting farming communities and helping create a fairer future for those who grow the coffee.
Highlights
Once we had that idea it just took off like a train leaving the station and before we knew it we actually had launched the business and we were in deep with lots to do.
We went over our funding target by quite some way; I think about 130% over and that kind of gave us the confidence to be like, this is actually you know, we’ve got a business idea here.
For the first few months it was just super fun you know, it was pure chaos, there was so much happening.
If you are passionate about something, I would say 100% just dive in feet first and go for it.
It’s definitely a super power... that constant hustle to go and build the business, I can do 10 different things at one.
Bravery is the right word.
I like to think that I am the strategic one and I’m very focussed on the bigger picture.
I think for me it’s given me a freedom and a deep realisation that life can be great.
We can enjoy those winning moments together which is really nice.
We give back 1% of all of our revenue to that project and currently we’ve got over 100 children in full time education in Uganda.
